Starlink Launches High-Speed Internet Service in Uganda: A Luxury Uganda Did Not Ask For

There is a particular tradition in journalism that goes back centuries, one where a writer picks up a pen not to entertain but to inform, to question, and to nudge a society toward clearer thinking about the forces shaping its daily life. Benjamin Franklin understood this well. He wrote to communicate with the world, not simply to report what happened, but to ask what it meant for ordinary people. That is the spirit behind this piece.
