Namibia’s CRAN Orders Starlink To Cease Operations Over Unauthorised Network Use

According to industry reports, the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN) has issued a cease-and-desist order to SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service, directing the company to immediately halt its operations within Namibian borders.

CRAN Chief Executive Emilia Nghikembua said in a statement that the decision stems from an investigation that revealed Starlink’s unauthorised operation of a network in Namibia without a valid telecommunications license.

“The public is hereby advised not to purchase Starlink terminal equipment or subscribe to its services, as such activities are illegal under Namibian law,” she said.

According to Nghikembua, CRAN investigators have already confiscated illegal terminals from consumers and have opened criminal cases with the Namibian Police.

“CRAN remains committed to enforcing the Communications Act to ensure fair competition, consumer protection, and compliance with regulatory requirements. We urge all service providers to adhere to the legal framework governing the telecommunications sector in Namibia,” she said.

Nghikembua said that Starlink has applied for a telecommunications service license, but CRAN has not yet issued a license as the application is still under review.

“CRAN is actively pursuing legal action against any individual or company found in contravention of the Communications Act and reminds the public to refrain from importing or using Starlink services,” she said.
