South Africa rewrites telecom law to clear Starlink entry

South Africa is not just weighing a single license; it is rewriting communications law to accommodate Starlink. That makes the country a useful test case for how satellite internet may be handled in larger telecom frameworks, especially where broadband policy is still being adjusted. For the broader streaming and media ecosystem, the immediate question is whether this creates a cleaner regulatory path for satellite-based connectivity in a major African market. Watch for the text of the amendments and whether they explicitly reference Starlink or broader satellite internet access.
