Le 15 mars 2025, l\u2019ARPTC (Autorit\u00e9 de R\u00e9gulation de la Poste et des T\u00e9l\u00e9communications du Congo) a officialis\u00e9 l\u2019entr\u00e9e de Starlink DRC S.A. sur le march\u00e9 congolais.

Pourquoi Starlink avait \u00e9t\u00e9 bloqu\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n En 2024, Kinshasa avait oppos\u00e9 un refus cat\u00e9gorique \u00e0 la firme d\u2019Elon Musk, d\u00e9non\u00e7ant une approche unilat\u00e9rale et un choix strat\u00e9gique jug\u00e9 insultant : d\u00e9ployer d\u2019abord ses services au Nigeria et au Rwanda, tout en ignorant le potentiel \u00e9conomique et d\u00e9mographique de la RDC. Pour les autorit\u00e9s congolaises, cette pr\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e9quivalait \u00e0 une atteinte \u00e0 la souverainet\u00e9 nationale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udef0\ufe0f L\u2019\u00c9tat a construit une alternative<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dans cette p\u00e9riode de bras de fer, la RDC n\u2019a pas attendu.

Ce projet, soutenu par l\u2019Agence pour le D\u00e9veloppement du Num\u00e9rique (ADN), vise \u00e0 stocker localement les donn\u00e9es et \u00e0 renforcer l\u2019ind\u00e9pendance technologique du pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83e\udd1d Un accord n\u00e9goci\u00e9 \u00e0 Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n C\u2019est finalement \u00e0 Washington, lors du Sommet mondial sur le num\u00e9rique, que le ministre Augustin Kibassa a trouv\u00e9 un terrain d\u2019entente avec les repr\u00e9sentants de Starlink. Un an plus tard, la RDC a accept\u00e9 l\u2019offre : Starlink pourra d\u00e9sormais op\u00e9rer, mais sur des bases red\u00e9finies.
