How can you deny people the chance to grow just because a company doesn’t meet ownership requirements? There are still families, farmers, and entire communities without reliable internet. We are told existing options are “good enough,” yet they are too expensive or simply unavailable to many of us. Then when a solution like Starlink comes—something that could actually change lives—it gets blocked. You say people cannot afford Starlink, but where are the better, cheaper options? Why are we being left behind with no real alternative? This is about more than internet. It’s about education, opportunities, and a future for the next generation. Right now, many of us are being excluded from that future. Please choose progress. Choose people. Let us have a fair chance to connect, grow, and be part of the modern world.

MTC reception is unreliable in some areas, and non-existant in other areas. I need Starlink access on my farm and when travelling in remote areas of Namibia.

Why do you want to keep intrrnet availability away from you poeple. Its absurd to refuse us availability. There is a large number of rural and farm areas with very slow or no internet.

We are a large commercial date farm in the South of Namibia. Internet connection and speed limits our farms productivity. We urge the Namibian government to seriously reconsider its Starlink decision, which will limit our farms ability to further develop and lure investors to Namibia. I am also available to elaborate via email our situation at Karas Dates Pty Ltd

The outcome is not considering the general public but a political agenda and we need clarification on decisions made in light of the critical role that affordable internet across the country plays.
