Zimbabwe’s telecommunications regulator has approved the licensing of Starlink in the country.

The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe has approved Starlink ’s licensing in the country.

“I encourage more investment by foreign conglomerates in Zimbabwe as we are an investment destination of choice.” “Investments of this magnitude and strategic importance represent the cornerstone for achieving the 2nd Republic’s objective of having a fully digitalized, upper-middle income economy by 2030.”Zimbabweans have been clamouring for Starlink services to be officially supported in the country for months.

This is believed to be due to the country’s ownership rules for telecom licensees — which include these licensees being at least 30% owned by historically disadvantaged groups.
