Safaricom has opened a battlefront with US billionaire Elon Musk's Starlink after asking the government to reconsider its decision to grant licences to satellite internet providers.

The telco asked the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) to review its decision to grant independent licences to satellite service providers, warning that such an arrangement could allow illegal connections and harmful interference to mobile networks.
