South Africans Remain Plugged-In To Starlink Past Disconnection Notice
- Starlink continues to operate in unauthorised regions despite warnings
- Users in South Africa and conflict-affected areas have ongoing access to the service
- Concerns raised about national security implications and challenges in enforcing regulations
The ongoing operation of Starlink in unauthorised regions raises concerns about regulatory oversight and enforcement. The availability of the service in countries with repressive regimes and the ease of smuggling Starlink kits pose national security risks. However, the service plays a critical role in facilitating communication, especially in conflict-affected areas and for humanitarian organizations.
