Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet venture, has commenced shutting down roaming subscriptions in Zimbabwe. This decision affects numerous users who failed to transition their accounts to local subscriptions. The termination disrupts internet services, impacting online activities.

Starlink’s move is reportedly driven by regulatory requirements. Zimbabwe’s telecommunications authorities mandated users switch from roaming to local accounts. The transition process has been marred by technical issues and bureaucratic hurdles. Affected users face disruptions in remote work, online businesses and education.

To restore services, users must migrate to local subscriptions. Starlink recommends contacting customer support for assistance. The company’s Zimbabwean operations may prompt regulatory revisions. As Starlink navigates compliance, users seek seamless internet connectivity solutions.
