This will happen also in South Africa those who import the Starlink kit. The issue here is these local governments can’t tax revenue from Starlink. They are also protecting the Network Carriers and fibre providers who milking millions citizens big money for pathetic internet services.

Thanks Starlink Company , I got one I live in Asia Arab country, i use it in my village which doesn't have any communication with the world , I gave also connection to my neighbors they are happy.

Comparing 1Mbps to 1Mbps the Starlink service is more than 1000 times cheaper than dedicated fibre packages in Zimbabwe which are as high as 300US per month. Schools are paying as much as 5000US per month for internet access. Starlink roaming is about 40US, schools can save up to 59k a year by switching to Starlink. Starlink is currently a lot cheaper and faster than fibre in Zimbabwe.

Damn! Thats sad

I’ve similar problem, I bought my kits in Nigeria was using it in Sierra Leone the services just stop yesterday asking me to use it in a registered country, I’m using the mobile regional plan, Sierra Leone govt approve the use of starlink in the country, even in the map on the app it’s showing the starlink is in the ocean, I’ve never been emailed non of the above you’re saying on this video I should’ve stopped sale.

We are facing a long time service blackout due the war going on in Sudan, Can we -as the government- approve the service in the country and mark it as safe?

Thanks for this info very helpful

As an overlander, this is a big deal. What is not mentioned in this video, is that say you register in Country A, travel to Country B use it for two months, then register in Country B, you then have to wait 90 days to re-register again. Meaning if I stay in Country B a further month and then move on to Country C, I have two months internet, and then 30 days outage until the 90 days is up. What a pain.

I am living in morocco and i'm looking for buying starlink. the thing is that they have cut also the network in here, but they say that the global roam is till working , but for how long ??? i want to buy it either from france or spain but the price is quite high : 230 euros. i heared that it was 150 ... is there a place where it coast 150 ?

its unfortunate , i am in iraq and i use starlink just for gaming since there are no gaming servers close to us we mainly connenct to germany servers normal cable internet getting us 70-90 ms which make competitive games completely unplayable with starlink although the roaming is a deprioritized plan behind residential it still gives 40-60 ms ping which is much better than the usual we get ... anyway whatever gonna happen it was awesome experience ...

Question: If you live in an unauthorized country - but near the border of an authorized country, can you purchase and activate in the approved country- roam to the unauthorized country- then pop back over the border every 60 days to reset the roaming limit?

I live in Turkey. Starlink availability: Pending appears as 2024. But does this matter? I'm trying to use it with a Global Roaming plan, but it says you are not in a valid location. Isn't the Global Roaming plan something you can use everywhere?

Not as of today. Pending means it hasn’t been approved yet, so no internet access under the new policy, even on Global.

It would be difficult, and without it, Starlink will still know your location because it can use its own satellites to calculate the location.

Starlink will have to work with individual countries to get official approval to operate. Otherwise, service will simply not work in unauthorized locations after April 30th. I'm afraid there isn't a good solution right now for the short term. It's possible Global Roam might still work, but we will have to wait and see after the 30th.

No that wouldn't be possible without some advanced knowledge of the design. And even without GPS, the dish can locate itself using just Starlink satellites.
