Starlink阻止 Namibia

BREAKING: Namibia blocks Starlink again over ownership rules. • Namibia’s regulator rejected Starlink’s licence appeal. • The country requires at least 51% ownership and control by Namibian citizens or local entities. Starlink’s Namibian subsidiary currently has 0% local ownership. • Namibia’s Communications Regulatory Authority received more than 624 formal reconsideration requests from citizens, along with a petition containing over 5,000 signatures supporting Starlink. • Namibia has a population of roughly 3.1 million people, and about 43% (around 1.34 million) live in rural areas across one of the world’s most sparsely populated countries. • Starlink is already providing high-speed internet in Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, Botswana, Zambia, Uganda, and several other African nations. Regulators in those countries prioritized expanding connectivity rather than enforcing rigid ownership requirements. This is exactly how people lose access to better technology. Starlink could help connect rural homes, businesses, schools, and remote communities, but bureaucracy is standing in the way. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/2069190619076177920/vid/avc1/1080x1080/3MQVTU8a3aLoED00.mp4?tag=28
