Can't wait for starlink. Our data is super expensive, aswell as internet, for crap service. If Starlink can provide a competitive price, with a better service/performance, Im switching over.
The logical perspective here is that Starlink is unlikely to simply concede or 'bite the bullet' in this scenario. This issue seems to be intricately linked with the controversial BEE initiative, which, in many opinions, primarily benefits the ANC elite rather than the general populace. Additionally, the matter of licensing raises questions. What is its true purpose? Is it merely a means for generating revenue from seemingly nothing? This situation is reminiscent of the contentious TV license concept that the ANC is reportedly considering for every cellphone user. Beyond VAT, one wonders how much more the government intends to extract financially from its citizens.
People think why can’t Starlink just can’t comply? Sorry Starlink is the service and spacex is the company, therefore you asking a aerospace of one lead engineering in world to give out a portion of the company to other country?? It’s ridiculous they will be fined by the NASA and US congress.
ANC will make it impossible to have starlink operate and improve the livelihood of young minds in the rural areas. Who is this govt representing😭 if deny a new network that would benefit rural areas😳 let's vote so our country will have the best quality. services.
Why would any business want to go to all that trouble and jump through all those hoops, and give away a portion of it's SA business, if there is someone much lower hanging fruit around?
Starlink service can work using a gateway in another country via the Satellites inter-satellite laser cross-links e.g currently Starlink units in Africa are using the gateway in Nigeria. Would this mean that they will only need the ECNS license, spectrum and not the Network licence
Soooo... Starlink does not wish to pay the "Bribes" the ANC needs to work in South Africa. It makes completely sense..
EXACTLY
It's not ANC , ANC is not a broadband regular, it's the companies that wanna monopolies and charge us stupid amounts ... And they're connects suck 🚮.
Elon must make starlink dirt cheap in SA to teach the anc a lesson

gate keeping is a serious problem in SA.
Greed will always be the downfall of any organisation or person. If the government doesn't get their billions ( NEVER HAPPEN)
EXACTLY
Do they not have a bribe Im asking for someone who knows someone in the ANC,

It's all about protecting their interests in the cellphone service providers of which many cadres are share holders. 🤔

All kit must be manufactured in South Africa, to cut the cost of set up kit. Star-link will be taking money out of South Africa.
