Namibia rejected a request for billionaire Elon Musk's Starlink to operate its satellite internet services in the country, dealing the company a second setback in Southern Africa.
Starlink had applied for the licence through its local unit, Starlink Internet Services Namibia (Pty) Limited, the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN) said in a government gazette, AFP reported.
The regulator gave no explanation for the refusal, saying only that "the full reasons for the decision can be requested from the authority."
South Africa denies Starlink a licence
Starlink has failed to secure a licence in neighbouring South Africa, where ownership rules have also blocked its entry.
Telecommunications companies operating in South Africa, including those with foreign investment, are currently required to provide 30% equity to historically disadvantaged groups – a policy created to mitigate the legacy of racial inequality left by apartheid.
