Zimbabwe asked SpaceX in April to cut off all terminals accessing its service and urged Starlink to submit a formal application to operate in the country.
A Zimbabwe politician’s son was arrested on charges of illegally possessing a Starlink terminal, a sign of the risks in countries where the SpaceX technology isn’t licensed.
