On Tuesday, February 4, Starlink users in the Falkland Islands, woke up by an email that said they woke up with an email. “You are currently using StarLink in unauthorized area. Local telecommunications authorities instructed to disable your services,” E-mail, website Openfalks.
You did not receive a Starlink Terminal in the falkland, technical, illegal and expensive license. The locals are trying to change it, but this is not afraid to bend their homes to Starlink satellite terminals. However, last week, someone’s folkland citizens will soon cut the service soon.
There are many reasons to hate SpaceX founder and Starlink Imprisario Elon Musk. He is currently an unverified ramp through the US federal government, destroyed Twitter and wants to move to Mars instead of making the earth. Although Starlink? Starlink is very large and this story is a good reminder that this story is an effective way of being online in remote areas of the satellite internet service in remote areas along the planet.
The Falkland Islands are a British area on the coast of Argentine in South America. This is a distant place with a population of only 4,000. There is an internet service. An English broadband company named Addera monopoly and broadband prices and services is archaic.
The cheapest Internet package costs about $ 18, has a maximum load speed and turns off after using 10 GBS data. The cheapest unlimited plan is worth $ 285 per month and advertises 10 MB / S. Customers on cheaper plans can get more information to get “boosters”. Unlimited plans began to offer them only four months before Starlink wins starlink.
For many people, Starlink’s satellite-based internet was a better choice. In the technical focus, not available in folklands, but can work in Roaming mode, and $ 50 to $ 50 to $ 50 for unrelated services. StarLink speeds, minimum, ten taata are ten-fold, ten times faster.
Sure and the Falklands Island government offered a way to use Starlink legally to people on the island. They just had to apply and pay “License fee“Every year, $ 6.714 per privilege. Why people who want to disrupt monopolies in this matter, they only want to buy a decent internet on this issue and fight the government to the minimum, the price of license fees will be reduced to $ 223 per year .
As the battle continues, sure and the government drew a slightly shadow shed. Reported Falkland Islands TV (Fitv), regulators stopped issuing new licenses in December.
“I could look after a few hundred apps I can imagine after the payment,” Communications regulator Chloe Freeman told Fitv at this time. “If the Falklands Island government does not have a general concept among myself and people, and however, we will be in very hot water to ensure that the relevance is again.” Freeman continues to say that they want to be fair for both inhabitants The broadband company, who did and sure, is a broadband company on a barrel on the island.
In order to resolve the issue, the government brought together a Starlink Select Committee. In February and Openfalklands have things heated around an issue Excellent Rundown the timeline. On February 3, the Committee made a statement about this Open steps The government must take. He called on the satellite license to reduce the fee and reconsider how the government works.
The next day, they received an email from the company that said they received an email in the same way as Starlink users-alanda and undocumented. Pay attention to the words in the email. “Local telecommunications authorities instructions to delete your services.”
A day later, on Wednesday, the 5th Falkland Islands communication regulator to turn off their statement. “Despite the writing of communication from Starlink, FIG did not instruct starlink to implement this action,” he said. In addition, Starlink worked in technically illegal and “some intelligence talks have not been applied to not operate in the country.
That day, convinced his statement. To people, this reminded them of an unlimited plan (which is more expensive than starlink) and serves the society. “Anyone who helps improve broadband or broadband performance with broadband supply should contact us.”
Comments with the statement of confidence on Facebook not positive. ‘Thus’ instead of paying ($ 74) to 200Mbps can I pay for the best 15Mbps ($ 74) ($ 533)? Wow … where should I sign? “A user said.
“What joke. It was done there, fobed. He would be ashamed of putting my name in this statement,” he said.
“Unlimited packages are for the rich. The prices we have to pay to be associated with our family outside the Falkland Islands are disgusting and very embarrassing. 4 (low-income family), stream TV, game, game, youTube, not possible, enough in a package “Another commentary” said to do this along the megabytes, “Another commentary”. “The Internet has actually stopped living in the real world where life is a daily part of life. Are confident. “
However, there was good news on the horizon. Openfalkslands, Monday, said that many of the Starlink accounts were planned to be cut off and suddenly returned online. Starlink website has also changed. Coverage map now shows the online future online “2025”
“Looking forward, now we look forward to resolving this situation with official government support for Starlink in April 2025,” he said. The Executive Board (EXCO) expects to receive a report in a short time, which will put a recommended way to Pervork to offer legal services in falkalls. “
