South Africa is changing its rules to invite global satellite internet companies like Starlink to bring fast internet to remote areas. Instead of forcing foreign firms to sell shares locally, the new policy lets them support local jobs, skills, and businesses as a way to share benefits. This fresh approach hopes to boost digital access while still helping empower South Africans. But some worry it might weaken hardfought economic fairness and let big foreign players take too much control. The government is asking everyone to share their thoughts before finalizing the plan, aiming for a balance between new technology and local strength.
