SpaceX reportedly warned last month that it would shut down the satellite internet service in unlicensed areas
Starlink satellite internet terminals are reportedly still operating in unlicensed places, despite the company’s warning last month that the service would be shut down by May 1 in those areas. A resident of Al-Fashir in North Darfur, Sudan was able to conduct an interview with Bloomberg using one on Wednesday.
An online poll found that of almost 100 Starlink customers in South Africa, 73% could still use the service after the shutdown date, Bloomberg reported, adding that some Starlink customers in Sudan were also able to access the service. Starlink users were told in an email the service was only intended for “temporary travel and transit,” in unlicensed places, rather than for permanent use.
