Hover more thoroughly. Different countries and regions have different tooltips.

But no, you would not be able to ship the user terminal to Africa and use it. You can’t even move it more than a few dozen miles from the address they have on file and keep using it, unless you have the more expensive license for mobile users (think RVs and boats and such). Even then it stops working if you enter an area where service is unavailable.

So realistically then, " This is availability for purchase map, not coverage. " makes no sense, because it is for a fact not available in Africa.
