JOHANNESBURG - ICASA chairperson, Mothibi Ramusi, has urged telecommunication service providers to use the correct channels when applying for certification.
This comes on the back of reports that some South Africans are illegally using Starlink services.
The authority has also sent out its teams to conduct physical verifications in the affected areas.
Starlink, an American service provider is not authorised or licensed to operate in the country.
The satellite internet provider is owned by South African born billionaire, Elon Musk. The tech mogul wants to bring Starlink to SA but faces a major hurdle because of ownership.
By law, every national network infrastructure and communications service provider must be 30% owned by historically disadvantaged groups.
