Starlink Kenya.

In July, Starlink started giving internet service in Kenya. People are excited, but there are things to figure out first.

Unlike other internet companies Starlink is using satellites for fast internet access. That's great for places with no good internet. But starting with Starlink costs a lot at first ($650≃ Ksh90,000). This can be hard for many Kenyans, especially those far from cities.Karibu Connect, a provider of internet connectivity solutions in East Africa, announced that it has been appointed as the first authorized reseller of Starlink in Kenya.

Kenya already has other ways to get internet, like fiber cables, 4G, 5G, and satellite dishes. People trust these because they're old and work well. Starlink needs to show it's good too.

People worry about what happens if Starlink has problems. They've had bad times with tech stuff before. They want to know if someone will help if things go wrong.

Starlink is special because it uses satellites for far places. This can help schools, businesses, and people who want to connect. But there are some problems. Sometimes, the internet from satellites is slow for things like video calls and games. Bad weather and too many satellites can make it stop working too.

Starlink needs to work with local phone and internet companies and the government to do well in Kenya. It needs to learn what Kenyan people need and like. Making different plans for students, small businesses, and far places can help more people use it.

We don't know yet if Starlink will be super popular in Kenya. It can make the internet better, but it needs to fix things first. Making it not cost too much, giving good help, and understanding what Kenyans want will decide if Starlink becomes a star. Kenya is waiting to see if Starlink will be the new way to connect with the world using satellites flying over them.

When I grow up I want to be Eugen Mbugua.

One of the people I admire most in Kenya is Eugen Mbugua see why.

He's the founder of Documentary and Reality TV (D&R TV) Kenya, a visionary dedicated to telling stories that matter. At his 30s his Networth is allowed KsH70 million.

Eugen's journey is a testament to what passion and dedication can achieve. He's not just a filmmaker; he's a winner of awards like Top 40 under 40 (2014) and Forbes Most Promising Entrepreneurs under 30 (2016). But his journey started with his environment shaping him, influenced by relatives who were a pilot and a filmmaker.

Right after high school, before heading to university, Eugen dabbled in the film world. He acted as an extra on sets and operated boom swings on others. When university beckoned, he chose a degree in the arts majoring in television production and minoring in print media.

Eugen firmly believes in making decisions and sticking with them. While it might be tempting to jump from one thing to another, he knows the magic lies in committing to one path. He made the decision to run with film and television, a choice that has led him on a remarkable journey.

Starting small with a Canon camera, he poured creativity, hard work, and countless hours into his craft. His passion for filmmaking grew over time, driven by his commitment. His journey took off when he landed his first television show at just 22, after numerous pitches and hard work.

Eugen's success story continued with various shows like "Young Rich," "Get in the Kitchen," "Stori Yangu," "Our Perfect Wedding," and docu-reality shows like "Sol Family" and "This Love."

What sets him apart is not just his creativity but his proactive approach. He networks, learns about market needs, and actively puts himself and his work out there.

His biggest lessons are sticking with what you want to do and understanding that great work takes time. Eugen defines success as a continuous journey of audacious steps. His goal is to grow, create stories that honor the African experience, and become an African Disney someday.

Eugen's daily routine showcases his dedication – he rises early, reads, hits the gym, works hard, and aims for self-improvement. What motivates him? The drive to push boundaries, not let his team or shareholders down, escape poverty, tell impactful African stories, and of course, to win.
