Starlink Activities Deemed Illegal by Botswana Regulator
- BOCRA has declared the importation, use, and resale of Starlink devices as punishable offenses.
- Starlink device owners are facing entry restrictions at the Kazungula border post with Zambia.
- Starlink terminated the accounts of numerous customers who purchased Starlink kits through resellers, citing a breach of the terms of use.
The Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority's decision to declare the importation, use, and resale of Starlink devices as punishable offenses reflects their concern about unauthorized activities. The restrictions faced by Starlink device owners at the border indicate the seriousness of the enforcement. However, the termination of customer accounts by Starlink raises questions about their approach to addressing the issue.
