Starlink suffers new setback as Namibia rejects licence

by Press Room


Namibia said Monday it had rejected a request for billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink to operate its satellite internet services in the country, dealing the company a second setback in southern Africa.

Starlink had applied for the licence through its local unit, Starlink Internet Services Namibia (Pty) Limited, the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN) said in a government gazette.

Starlink provides high-speed internet access to remote locations around the world via thousands of low Earth orbit satellites.
