Starlink Steps Up Effort to Get SA License for Satellite Internet

Summary

Starlink, the global satellite internet company, is working hard to get permission to operate in South Africa. The company has been facing delays from the government and regulators, which has slowed down their ability to offer services locally. To speed up this process, Starlink has increased its public campaign to raise awareness and gain support from South Africans. The company wants to provide faster, more reliable internet across the country, especially in rural and hard-to-reach areas where connectivity is poor. This expanded campaign highlights the need for improved internet access in South Africa and shows how satellite technology can help bridge the digital divide. However, the licensing process is still ongoing, and it will take time before Starlink can officially start offering its services in the country.
