One day can feel like an eternity in the world of Starlink developments in the Falkland Islands. ‘Black Friday’ recently arrived, leading to service terminations for some Starlink users due to the expiration of their 60-day roaming period. Despite widespread use and a successful petition, Starlink’s operation in the islands remains illegal until formally approved by the government. The £5,400 FIG VSAT licence fee is a contentious issue, with some groups considered ‘legal’ users. The recent shutdown of services has sparked discussions on declaring a National Emergency to resolve the situation promptly. It is crucial to address the Starlink operation in the Falkland Islands expediently for the benefit of all involved.
