Advertising, Distributing And Using Starlink Internet Not Allowed In Zimbabwe - POTRAZ

The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) has warned individuals and companies who are caught distributing and advertising Starlink Internet Services’ gadgets that they will be arrested.

Some are advertising Starlink Internet Services kits, especially on social media platforms like Facebook yet the service provider has not been licenced in the country.

Many have already installed the gadgets and these risk being arrested.

An unnamed official from POTRAZ told H-Metro that raids will be done soon to deal with those breaking the law. Said the official:

It’s not allowed to sell or use Starlink in Zimbabwe and police will be mounting raids and arrests soon.

All those advertising the gadgets are putting themselves at risk and they stand warned to stop selling and using them.

We are seeing it and there is a need for proper processes. We will be mounting raids with the police in Harare soon.

The use of unlicensed telecommunication is not allowed. The service should wait for approval, the telecommunications process states that they must not interfere with other services.

Their approval is very necessary so that we make sure there is no interference of frequencies.

Starlink is still in the process of applying for a license, they are not yet licensed.

So far two people have been arrested in Vic Falls and Bulawayo and their cases are before the courts.

Developed by Elon Musk’s space exploration company SpaceX, Starlink is a satellite internet network that provides high-speed broadband internet services.

They just have to embrace technological advancement. We need faster speeds which they don't have to govern and limit. As Zimbabweans, is it difficult fit into the modern world? @Potraz first provide us better network which comes with value for money. Also, In Zimbabwe we dont have a manufacturing company for those Space X or starlink gadget, So arikupinda nepi kana musingamadi muno?

Ah! Why does it look like we are fighting against a rock that doesn't feel nor care? How can you hate a person or institution that hasnt done anything to you and doesnt care about you anyway? If Musk knew tjis Im sure he would be bewildered!

Let us be patient. A rightful service provider shall be licensed. That will bring an end to our challenges. At the moment, the long arm of the law will catch up with terrorists intending to use Starlink for acts of sabotage.
