ABUJA, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Nigeria has issued seven-year satellite permits to Amazon's (AMZN.O) Kuiper Systems, Israel's NSLComm's BeetleSat and Germany-based Satelio IoT Services, joining Elon Musk-owned SpaceX among operators cleared to expand space-based broadband, the telecoms regulator said on Thursday.
