    Just sad that RSA will not get access to SpaceX's satellite internet.  ICASA ruled that Starlink does not satisfy the BBBEE requirements to get a broadcasting license (hopefully some smart kid (Elon Junior ???) will figure out a way to connect to Starlink using VPN or something smart) :xxbah...
