Anugya,
I live in Namibia where Starlink's license application has been rejected for non-compliance with some regulatory requirements.
I not only disagree with the rejection per se, but also with some of the regulatory framework, but that's the way a democracy works, and I have written a detailed letter in support of reconsideration.
That said, one of the concerns brought up during the Public Consultation was the routing though the US. I personally also disagree with the concern, but your extremely interesting research idea can perhaps provide some data in this regard.
Coming from my former day job, where Evidence Base Medicine changed our way of working significantly, I have become a great fan of Data Driven Decision Making.
My understanding is that Starlink is available in
Benin, Botswana, Burundi, Eswatini, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Zambia, Zimbabwe
of these
Benin, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Somalia, Zambia, Zimbabwe
seem to have active Atlas probes (at least that's what a quick Gemini prompt revealed) of which at least
Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe
have probes connected to Starlink. Might be worth looking into.
I can't see your email address reading this on my iPad, please email me (
dns-techs@na-nic.com.na) off list how many Credits you need, we have accumulated some over the years :-)-O
Our regulator reads in copy, can be taken off from further discussion, I want them to be aware of the research going on. I'll let them have the results in the end anyway.
greetings, el
