Starlink roaming still working in SA

Despite warnings that their connections would go dark from 30 April 2024, numerous Starlink roaming users in South Africa still have access to the company's roaming service.

The fast and uncapped Internet service operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX first started notifying some customers in mid-April that it would cut off their roaming subscriptions this past Tuesday.

Probably just slow admin or something. Or maybe they're testing to see what reaction?

Starlink to Icasa : Don't worry, we will switch off roaming

I'm not following. What does that have to do with recommending you don't get Starlink?

The countries who need it most are the most difficult about allowing it.
Must be scared that information will lead to better informed voters.

We'll find avenues to bypass the racist ICASA oppression!

We won't remain isolated from the information highway of the planet!

We won't be left behind in the 'dark' by corrupt, backward dictators!

It's inevitable they'll switch off roaming in unsupported countries after the toothless UN buckled. So merely a paper exercise.
