Namibia denies Starlink operating license

Namibia has officially rejected Starlink's request to begin operations within the country. The satellite internet service, founded by Elon Musk, was denied both a crucial telecommunications service license and the necessary radio spectrum access. This decision prevents Starlink from expanding its reach into the Namibian market. The reasons for the denial were not immediately specified, but it represents a setback for the company's global expansion efforts. Starlink aims to provide internet access to underserved areas, and this regulatory hurdle in Namibia will impact its service availability on the continent.
