Cameroon Authorities “Concerned” About Starlink’s Entry Into Its Internet Space
- Authorities fear that the Starlink service could overshadow the incumbent operator, Camtel.
- The Minister of Posts and Telecommunications expressed concerns about security risks and personal data protection.
- Starlink has yet to receive regulatory approval from Cameroonian authorities.
The concerns raised by Cameroonian authorities regarding Starlink's entry into the market are valid. The potential overshadowing of the incumbent operator and the security risks associated with uncontrolled use of Starlink equipment are legitimate concerns. It is important for regulatory approval to be granted and for measures to be in place to protect personal data and ensure fair competition.
