Little-known Liberian operator Starcell may have its licence revoked

Liberia’s telecom regulator has suspended the operating licence and spectrum rights of Starcell International Liberia, a little-known mobile operator in the country. The Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) ordered an immediate halt to Starcell’s services, citing non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

Starcell now faces the possibility of full licence revocation if it fails to address the LTA’s concerns. Few public details exist about the operator’s ownership, customer base or network footprint, underscoring how marginal its presence has been in Liberia’s telecom market.
