So what? They need it more than we do. We already have well established internet networks. What is so great about Starlink anyway?
OK, but then it remains to be seen whether or not it works here. Maybe IP addresses or geolocation will prevent that. Who knows.Given that Eswatini is a confirmed launch in 2023 according to the article, I would imagine the satellites would be running across RSA

Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) | Q1 2023 |
Feck, I'm out the loop. Thought it was still called Swazi (not the herb).

These 20 African countries are all set to get Starlink before South Africa
At least 20 African countries have either rolled out or are set to get Starlink before South Africa, according to the service's official coverage map.
Starlink is a satellite broadband service run by Elon Musk's private space company SpaceX.
must be 30% black-0wned to get
only 0.5% are enriched and are politicians and their frnds the rest are strugglersICASA and BEE.
But we live in a country with 40 million black people. I'm sure there's one with the money to invest....
Though TBH I wouldn't go into business with Elon.
I wonder if the device has that, or if it is IP-address based.Probably not. It has GPS and can enable or disable services based on geofence.
There are quite a few that could. The issue is paying for the 30%, since Starlink doesn't need to gift the 30%.ICASA and BEE.

Judging by Elons tweets and behaviour I think the 30% notion of BEE offended him. I think his Dad still lives here so we can be damm sure Elon has the inside track of things happening around us.
Technically yes. In reality, not even remotely comparable.So?
Was it a valid answer to the question? Yes.
Thank you ANC voters for voting for race based laws. Now you get NOTHING.
Viva!
Are we the only country in Africa with BEE requirements? Other countries in Africa seem to be pulling ahead of us.
The blacks of South Africa are protecting themselves from Global Whiteness™We are the only country in the world with BEE requirements to protect the majority population group. Go figure.
