"Choosing Chinese G60 Over Elon Musk's Starlink Is Stupid, Shameful" - Rutsito

Toneo Rutsito, the founder of TechnomagTv, has criticised Zimbabwean government officials for suggesting that the southern African nation might decide to choose China’s G60 satellite over SpaceX’s Starlink, owned by Elon Musk. Rutsito described the idea as foolish and embarrassing, urging the government to reconsider.

Rutsito argued that SpaceX’s Starlink has a proven track record, having been tested and used successfully over the years. In contrast, the Chinese G60 satellite is still in the trial phase. He expressed concerns about China’s reputation for spying on its citizens and claimed that allowing China to provide internet services in Zimbabwe would be a violation of human rights, including the right to privacy. He said:

Shanghai Gesi Aerospace Technology, a state-owned company established in 2022 is the one to run the G60 satellite factory. These young Turks do not even have national coverage for their 1 billion people let alone the African Market and hence will provide pathetic speeds! To start with submitting national data traffic to a country notorious of curtailing freedom of expression and access to information would be as nefarious and tantamount to violation of Human rights and freedom of expression! China does not even allow access to Facebook Whatsapp and Twitter to its citizens and spies on its citizens daily, this is gross! In Ukraine, Ellon Musk said his internet can not be used for war! It was actually blamed for switching off internet that led to Ukraine drones failing to attack Russia but here we are, someone twisting the facts to suite his singing for supper narratives!

The G60 Starlink project started in 2016, with the Shanghai government announcing its cluster plans in 2021. As of July, the local government said they would send nearly 1,300 satellites into orbit during the initial phase of the project. This figure is far off to date! This is a drop in Ocean against what Starlink has done in terms of geo space coverage and connectivity and to think Zimbabwe Gvt must trust and sign up a struggling and poorly connected aerospace player coz its Chinese is not only ignorant but stupid!

In comparison, Rutsito lauded SpaceX’s Starlink project, which started launching satellites in 2019. He mentioned that the project currently has over 5,289 small satellites in low Earth orbit, with plans to deploy up to 42,000 satellites in the future. Rutsito argued that Starlink’s extensive coverage and connectivity make it a more reliable choice for Zimbabwe.

Rutsito questioned the national security concerns cited by proponents of the Chinese G60 satellite, arguing that only authoritarian regimes fear open connectivity platforms like Starlink. He pointed out that eight African countries have already adopted Starlink without facing any national security issues.

I remember the first cellphone I bought was $50. The replacement charger was £20. The Chinese introduced the same chargers for £5. So much for acquired Sinophobia.

Yes it stu.pid, stu.pid at another level filled with igno.rance thus why the nation is so far behind in technology mainly because of such unthinkable choices trying to play the we don't care syndrome as if one is in charge of their own house hold forgetting that their department has the nation at it. The president should fire some of these so called ministers they don't know what they are doing they are incapable in their departments.

Let's not put politics and other statal issues. Besides with this G60, tech, we will put to test what I see as good innovation. We are lucky to become new arrival to this new tier of G60 Starlink against Space X in that we have new ventures of exploitation and exploration to it, Space X is old and has to renovate to become at par with new settings G60 Starlink has, G60 had to improve what space x is still in surveillance, so as a new kid on the block, is capacited, in many folds of space Xs it very much a noble idea to adopt the G60 Starlink and we will be first to have very new tech advancement, kwete kungo tevera tevedza nekuti Zambia blah blah blah, muface wenyu uyu Elon Musk is not a God and did not attend school alone there are greats around him, Some are exposed sa Iye others are just quiet, like our own Manyika, they too are capacited in the brains to have this Starlink tech asi they choose to be mum and live a life, I say we'll done to Government that just a brilliant idea tiite wo zva siyana nemhomwe sekutora kwatakaita minda and neku end the reigns of first Republic without a single shot fired and apa we are on deep sea shores of sanctions but we are sailing through like a hot knife searing through buttercup margarine 😉 Ungazodei.

What's the point in getting G60 when it blocks most sites that people use on a daily basis. Facebook, X, Whatsapp, Youtube, etc. What will we be paying for? Space X is probably trying to bring affordable internet. G60 will keep the status quo of high prices to expand their network at our expense.

Used to getting things for free and giving free things when necessary, someone thinks that they may get a free service which they can give. Cowdray Park can have free internet again, and the rest of the country! Just because they helped us for a cause in dislodging Rhodesia does not mean that they will keep helping us. We have to grow up and stand up on our own, and they expect us to do just that!

If we say décision shud be based on spying then we shudn't take them both bcoz spying is what they do everyday with this technology but i wud chose SpaceX bcoz of their proven record that it works well rather than this Chinese which they haven't got it working well in their own country

u people and the Americans. you forget that Elons space X is contracted by the US government and I mean the American military. u are naive to think that spying will not happen. it has already started and is always there. Americans support their own period.
Anonymous · 1 year ago
Lol, Starlink will be just as contracted to the Zimbabwean government if they come here, same as any other internet provider. Truth is, and we all know it, nowadays everyone's spying on everyone, even if they tell us otherwise. They just outsource it if they can't do it themselves. So really, it's about picking your devil. There are no angels in this game and China takes the demon cake in internet control and repression. They'll happily hand our governments shiny boots to crush us with while feeding us approved crumbs like we're caged chickens. Starlink might not be perfect, but we will be more like wild guineafowl. A few of us might still get snatched by the occasional online predator, but at least we'll have some freedom to go mostly where we like, when we like. Not all devils are born equal!

@Expect indeed you are an expert if we choose the Elon Musk satellite it means we are western puppets but For the Government to choose Chinese its their choice our government is aligned to China everyone knows that for them its not wrong. America spies using Google and the iPhone there are spying tools that's many government have banned government officials from using iPhone. If the want to be spied by China its their choice there are in friendship with them not America.

China bans Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Google and YouTube. It would be unwise to grant a Chinese company to provide satellite internet in Zimbabwe.

That's true @Teabag the banned American spying tools its good for them because the have their own their own spying tools, why they will allow someone to spy on their citizens if they can do it on their own.
