Flashback
Starlink has made this warning to users of its service in unauthorised zones before. On April 17, 2024, Starlink sent a similar message to users in Sudan, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, warning that their access to the service would be terminated by the end of the month.
However, users still reported the ability to access the service after the deadline.

According to the Ministry of Communication, the company is expected to be licensed to operate in Q3 of 2024.
