A Russia-built rocket carrying Turksat-4A Turkish communications satellite was launched from Kazakhstan on Feb 14, 2014. Turksat-4A, the fifth satellite launched recently by Turkey is meant to increase internet speed in Turkey to 50 megabytes. The launch clearly demonstrates the country's commitment to fast Internet service. All of Africa will be covered by the Turksat-4A and the Turksat-4B will be launched later this year. Ironically, the launch comes after the Turkish parliament passed a bill that would allow the government to shut down websites without court orders.
