South Africa Drops Starlink Ownership Rule, Boosts Internet Access
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
South Africas communications minister has revised the policy, allowing foreign-owned satellite internet providers like Starlink to operate without selling local ownership to Black or non-white individuals. This change, aimed at opening the market for advanced internet services, permits foreign companies to invest in equity equivalent programs supporting historically disadvantaged groups. Elon Musk, who previously criticized the countrys ownership laws, can now operate Starlink in South Africa, potentially boosting internet connectivity and economic empowerment.
