Calling Starlink a security threat is tech illiteracy at its finest.
National defense and aviation do not run on consumer dishes. They use highly encrypted, sovereign systems. Plus, the state controls the spectrum.
If a provider goes rogue, the government can yank the license instantly.
The "security" excuse is just a shield for state backed monopolies. If MTN, Vodacom, and Telkom are so superior, let them compete openly. Let the market decide.
Legacy ISPs simply cannot bridge the connectivity gaps that Starlink can. There is no competition.
๐ฟ๐ฆ South Africans want Starlink.
The consciousness shift needed is the innate ability to tell the difference between someone who comes to your country, doesn't integrate, mocks your culture and religion and wants to implement their own law vs someone who comes to your country, fully integrates, does the jobs that no-one else will do and contributes to the economy and culture.
@FaraiMazhindu I'm astounded by the greed and selfishness of the people in charge of driving South Africa forward! Can't they tell that their ridiculous behaviour is sending our beautiful country and wonderful people into an unrecoverable death spiral.
