The ambition of Elon Musk’s global satellite Internet service Starlink is to be available worldwide, said Starlink enterprise sales director Phillip van Essen at the Dwyka Tech*Carnival this week when questioned about the high-speed, low-latency broadband Internet service provider’s presence, or lack thereof, in South Africa. “We prioritise the countries that make it easy for us to do business there, open entities and get regulatory approvals. We respect that every country has their own process . . . and have a dedicated team that is focused on regulatory efforts globally, including South Africa. We're hopeful that we can resolve the issues and start service here soon, as well as in other [African countries].”
