OpenElon Musk's Starlink Granted Operating Licence In Zimbabwe
10 months agoSat, 25 May 2024 12:47:18 GMT
The government has officially granted Starlink, a satellite internet service provider owned by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, an operation license to operate in Zimbabwe.
Starlink will provide the service in Zimbabwe through its sole and exclusive local partner IMC Communications which is owned by ex-convict Wicknell Chivayo, according to ZimLive.
In a statement issued this Saturday, 25 May, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said the licensing of Starlik demonstrates his administration’s commitment to providing an environment where investment in technology is promoted. Reads the statement:
One of the strategic pillars that anchor the 2nd Republic’s developmental agenda under Vision 2030 is innovation, science and technology.
Prioritisation of the digital economy and the emerging importance of technology in our day-to-day activities requires Government to lead from the front in providing an environment where investment in technology is promoted.
In this vein, I’m pleased to announce that I have approved the licensing of Starlink by POTRAZ to provide advanced internet and related digital processing services in Zimbabwe through its sole and exclusive local partner, IMC Communications (Pvt) Ltd.
Starlink @Starlink is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite operator wholly owned by global conglomerate Space X led by prominent multi-billionaire @ElonMusk.
The entry by Starlink in the digital telecommunications space in Zimbabwe is expected to result in the deployment of high-speed, low-cost, LEO internet infrastructure throughout Zimbabwe and particularly in all the rural areas.
This will be in fulfilment of my Administration’s undertaking to leave no one and no place behind. The investment confidence expressed by Starlink in Zimbabwe’s telecommunications infrastructure also dovetails with the 2nd Republic’s mantra, “Zimbabwe is open for business”.
I encourage more investment by foreign conglomerates in Zimbabwe as we are an investment destination of choice.
I take this opportunity, on behalf of the Government of Zimbabwe, to congratulate IMC Communications (Pvt) Ltd and Starlink on this commendable milestone aimed at revolutionizing the digital and communications technology landscape in Zimbabwe.
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.

SHONAS ARE THE MOST DOM, DUMB, STUPID, SLEEPY COWARDLY PEOPLE THAT I HAVE EVER MET.
THIS IS A CLEARLY AND HIGHLY CORRUPT DEAL BETWEEN MNGWABGWA AND CHIVAYO. BUT NOBODY IS QUESTIONING IT. NO ONE WILL CHALLENGE IT IN COURT.
WAS THERE AN OPEN BID PROCESS? WHY IS THE PRESIDENT INVOLVED? IS THIS WHY HIS KARANGA CHINU CHEDU FACTION STAGED A COUP IN 2017?
THEY HAVE NORMALISED THE ABNORMAL.

In Russia youth service has always been there and it's run by the military not some non descript shadow organisation aligned to a party. On completion those youths become Russia's reserve force and the fire arms they use during training become their private property as discipline wud have been part of their training.

What a du.mb as.s of a president we have. So the first citizen thinks we are all du.mb as.ses. Zimbabwe is down not because of lack of talent, skills and commitment from the citizens but because we have the du.mbest people in leadership and not by choice but by force. Wicknel has untraceable wealth, has no treceable businesses and yet the president associates with him proudly, what a shame. Vision 2030 is all about a billionaire Idhi and associates .

The value of Chivhayo is not in the brain. It is in being a reliable frontman yavakuru. All he has to do is to go out and loot for the boss and not tell the world about it. He is not expected to be an expert running a successful company. His returns are wonderful for vene, and that's all that matters.

@ 🏴☠️🏴☠️ Judging by the impersonator silence who only succeeded in copying my name and not my thoughts all I have to say is know your role and shut your mouth anyway I digress...My criticism was at Elon Musk the individual and not Starlink...I rightly pointed out that he is a beneficiary of apartheid and he heads over company synonymous with racist firings and the lack of upward mobility for people of colour in his company Tesla... Furthermore Elon Musk has been known to lie and exaggerate his role in the formation of companies ie PayPal....As for Starlink granted I would have preferred the Chinese satellite but I guess the government could not sit on such a genuine game changer in the world of communication...This is just a marriage of convenience and am sure once the Chinese satellite starts running probably next year Elon Musk and his tacky company will be kicked out... That's the bottom line because The Griot said so

The cost of Starlink equipment and the price tag vary depending on your location ¹ ²:
- The price of the Starlink kit is around $599, but there is a promotion in the UK where the equipment is discounted from £460 to £300.
- Monthly subscriptions for the service range from $41.82 to $248.70, depending on the country and the type of subscription (standard, regional roaming or global roaming).
- In Zimbabwe, the best option is to buy the kit from Nigeria or Rwanda, with the latter being the cheapest option, at $53 per month for unlimited internet with download speeds above 100 Mbps.

ted farai mandoreba · 10 months ago
its a welcome move by Potraz... but why it took so long is the question...and the arrests and the confistications. ? ...well now its good that its licensed....now the subs ? how will they be priced... it was $40 unlimited...but they recently increased it to around $86 unlimited....still its reasonable for unlimited internet also factoring in the speeds you get.... now Liquid has Wibronix $168 unlimited 10mbs/sec... econet is charging $12 for 9GB .... so we will be watching how much of an impact will starlink bring to prices

It's not competition when it is filled by the same group of people. Their pricing is coming and it will be the same as all the others. Wicknell will be making big profit off the people. This is jobs for friends. What qualifications or experience does Wicknell have to run this company. This is a joke.

it doesn't matter even $120 iyoyo, so long as connectivity is world class. whats important is the competition it will bring ,we have too many govt owned ISPs and maybe one or 2 private players .and those private players have been charging an arm and a leg for their services. A new private player is really good for us , on prices adjusting to a reasonable state
