The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) has unveiled draft regulations for satellite services, encompassing SpaceX's Starlink. The proposed rules aim to establish a new licensing framework and address the challenges of low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites.

The draft regulations cover authorization for satellite user terminals, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and spectrum management. ICASA is seeking public comments on the proposal by November 12, 2024, with feedback to be published online by November 30, 2024.
