Starlink has officially received regulatory approval in Côte d'Ivoire, with services set to launch in July 2026.

Logical governments make logical decisions. This is the undisputed future of connectivity, Low Earth Orbit satellite technology is the new paradigm.

The war on Starlink will be recorded as a pathetic, embarrassing chapter in the history of governance. There is zero rational economic or technical justification for this blockade. There is only the stench of political insecurity.

Starlink is aggressively bridging the digital divide that legacy internet service monopolies could never fix.

Traditional telecommunication infrastructures would never burn millions of dollars to lay fiber cables for a deep rural community of 200 families, there is simply zero financial return on investment for them.

Thanks to Starlink, the connectivity gap is being erased completely.

@Bound2Liberty @NiekerkSteve "Property rates rise by 3.6 percent"...
There is double-dipping going on here:
1.Yearly "cents in the rand" increase (3.6%).
2.Five yearly property rates revaluation.

Two increases - double-dipping

@BDliveSA Did the survey count shares held by PIC, Provident Funds, Retirement Funds, Unit Trusts, ETF's, SETA's which are mostly black owned? I'd check but BD is paywalled.

@AtholT You think teabags are expensive and poor value for money, wait until you pay for metro rates, sars taxes, eskom electricity, metro water. Metro & Govt services are very much overpriced.

@AurelianofRome @wccftech Multilateral Alignment of Technology Controls on Hardware (MATCH) Act (HR 8170, Senate S4281) strengthens US export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment (SME) to China. It does not directly ban imports of finished RAM/modules (like Corsair DDR5 with CXMT chips)

@pookiepolls What we need is:
Less government.
Less SOE.
Less Taxes.
Less regulations.
Less interference.
List the market do it's job.

@landbourainier These fixed fees don't seem to be regulated by NERSA, so they increase faster than inflation and faster then NERSA R/kWh. Go 100% off-grid - problem solved.

@geordinhl @CityofCT "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money" Margaret Thatcher. Ultimately these tariffs target the middle class.

[Taxpayer @mysystem32]

@ConCaracal This is fair. CoJ @CityofJoburgZA using unfair tariffs for PIKITUP @CleanerJoburg and for Sewer.
Unfair tariff per bin should be same. Bin-is-a-bin.
Sewer tariff is unfairly based on stand size and not kiloliters water used.

@BassonBrain @Starlink Is this the same righteous ICASA who's chairman was convicted of R6m theft - "Rubben Mohlaloga was sentenced to 20 years in prison for fraud and money laundering regarding a R6 million Land Bank theft"

@dstigovza LOL, ZA Department Of "Science & Technology" does not know that Platinum not used in EV Lithium batteries. 😂

@visse_ss The SAPS R360 million fraudulent healthcare tender awarded to Medicare 24 is a financial crime committed under the SAPS CFO watch, Lt Gen Puleng Dimpane as the SAPS CFO should take accountability for allowing this financial crime to take place under her watch.

@muskonomy ICASA is very slow, took ages to fire the chair, even after the chair had been found guilty of R6m theft.
