# The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa has launched an investigation into allegations that Elon Musk’s Starlink internet-satellite service is operating in the country illegally. Government has gazetted relaxed B-BBEE licensing requirements for satellite service companies. The proposed policy direction provides alternatives to pave the way for Starlink to operate in the country. Icasa chairperson, Mothibi Ramusi, says that should the investigation yield any breach with regulatory and legislative frameworks, they will explore the applicable enforcement actions within their disposal.
