Elon Musk’s SpaceX has sought an official distributor to operate its Starlink satellite internet service in Sudan, according to people familiar with the matter.
The efforts to find a distributor have proven difficult because of violence and uncertainty stemming from a 15-month-long civil war in the North African nation, said the people who asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the matter. The search is ongoing, one of the people said.
