They don’t magically just float over SA, you do realise?

An orbit is 2hrs. You think it’s impossible to try ensure there’s always a few over SA?

What use is being big if Elon is sitting there sulking?

I’m saying they will be much the same everywhere at all times, they don’t dedicate them to any one particular area.

These are not just geo-stationery, they just keep spinning.

Hence the word orbit and they also have a ~200km wider footprint.

You have to wonder how much of that R365m EEIP winds up financing the businesses of friends and family of connected cadres.

Worth noting that Starlink offered to fund an EEIP worth R500m to connect 5000 rural schools. The more cynical among us might observe that that particular EEIP model would make it harder to extract cash than Amazon's more ambiguous "enablement and acceleration program".

Exactly, if there's no cadre enrichment opportunity, why bother, right? It's not like their rationale is based on the benefits to ordinary people, right? Always Negotiating for Cadres, Not Otherwise Traversing into something Acceptabile.

One must comply with the 145 race laws.

IBM was willing to sell to Germany, despite knowing what the reason for buying the equipment was for, and actively helping the rollout and actioning as well.

Social media is full of people saying how we don't need Starlink and Elon should get lost now we have Amazon.
Proof that;

1. Education and basic common sense is severely lacking in this country.
2. If you package your agenda with racist angles you can accomplish basically anything in South Africa and turn people against your competition with ease and;
