Elon Musk’s Starlink operations illegal in Ghana, says NCA
The system is designed to bring high-speed internet even to hard-to-reach areas
The National Communications Authority (NCA) has announced that the operation of Starlink in Ghana at the moment is illegal.
The NCA says it has not licensed Starlink, the satellite internet service provided by SpaceX, to operate in Ghana and has also not approved any of Starlink’s equipment.
The system is designed to bring high-speed internet even to hard-to-reach areas.
This means that any entity selling Starlink equipment or providing Starlink services in Ghana is in direct violation of the Electronic Communications Act 2008, the NCA said in a statement issued on Thursday (December 7).
It is therefore warning Ghanaians against purchasing any equipment or services from Starlink. The firm is hoping to begin operations in Ghana in the third quarter of 2024, stating on its website that availability is subject to regulatory approval.
