The Equiano and 2Africa projects aim to expand access to this service across Africa. Project Taara made a 2021 demonstration of this service in Kinshasa and Brazzaville using light beams. A failed attempt by the Loon company would have provided this service to remote areas of Africa using balloons. Seacom provides subsea technology to deliver this service, though provisioning in rural areas is often dogged by “last-mile” problems. It's not (*) cell service, but Huawei is the largest provider of this service in sub-Saharan Africa. In February 2023, Elon Musk ordered SpaceX to prevent Ukraine’s military using this service by cutting off access to the satellite-based Starlink.
