Namibia orders Starlink to cease operations over licensing issues
The order, issued on November 26, requires the company to halt all operations


(Web Desk) Namibia’s Communications Regulatory Authority (CRAN) has issued a cease-and-desist order to Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by SpaceX, for running a telecommunications network without the necessary licence.
The order, issued on November 26, requires the company to halt all operations in the country immediately.
CRAN has also warned the public against purchasing or subscribing to Starlink services. It had been stated that such actions are illegal under Namibian law.
In addition to the directive, the regulator revealed that it has already confiscated unlicensed Starlink terminals from consumers and has opened criminal cases with the police to address the violations.
“The enforcement of national telecommunications regulations is paramount to ensuring a fair and legal operating environment,” CRAN stated, reaffirming its commitment to compliance and regulation in the sector.
