Namibia's Communications Regulatory Authority (CRAN) has denied Starlink permission to operate in the country on two occasions, first in March 2026 and again later. The reasons for these refusals have not been detailed in the available information.

Starlink's attempt to establish operations in Namibia has faced a setback as the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN) rejected the company's appeal against a previous licensing denial. This decision leaves Starlink without a means to enter a key telecom market in southern Africa.
