ICASA lays out what Starlink must do to operate in South Africa

The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) has laid out exactly what satellite Internet providers, such as SpaceX's Starlink, must do to operate legally in the country.

In a Government Gazette general notice, the communications watchdog said it had received numerous requests for clarity from prospective satellite operators seeking to offer their services in South Africa.

How many years since they last issued a licence? 18 or 19 *YEARS* now?


ICASA - you need a licence.

Also ICASA - we haven't issued any in almost 2 decades.

Elon Musk is required to pay 51% tax of his entire net worth to SARS. Then ICASA will consider granting a license.

He can also them bill SARS for any losses as well.
