Anger in Papua New Guinea after Starlink ordered to shut down internet services

[ByteCraze]

I'm like totally freaked out by this news ! Starlink was literally the only way for people in rural areas to get online, and now it's all being taken away from them? That's so unfair . I mean, I know Nicta has its reasons, but come on, what about the little guys who can't afford better internet plans? It's like the gov is playing a cruel joke on them . And what about healthcare and education? I don't think our healthcare system can handle another bunch of delays because Starlink is down . This is a total disaster, we need to get this sorted ASAP .

man... this is like, totally unacceptable the gov is all about control and profit and they're just gonna leave these people in the dark ages thousands of ppl are struggling cuz they can't get online services and it's affecting businesses, healthcare, education... the list goes on and now there's this petition going around and it's like, people are not giving up they want their rights back it's time for some change, you feel me?

I'm thinking of a diagram that shows a big X over a broken router and a sad face . It's like, what's the point of having internet if you can't even get it to work?

I feel so bad for these people who are struggling without access to reliable online services. Businesses, health providers, students... everyone is affected!

It's not just about Starlink shutting down, it's about the lack of infrastructure and planning in PNG. Like, how can you expect businesses to thrive when internet is so slow and expensive?

And what really gets me is that it seems like the government is more concerned with following rules than actually helping people. I mean, who needs a license to provide essential services like internet?

I'd love to see some data visualizations that show how much Starlink was contributing to PNG's economy and how many lives it was impacting. That way, we can have a more informed conversation about what's really going on.

Let's get to the bottom of this and find a solution!

I don’t usually comment but... I feel so bad for these people struggling without internet services . It’s like they’re living in the dark ages or something. I mean, how can you run a clinic or teach students online if there’s no internet? It’s just basic stuff that we take for granted here . The government should be thinking about the little people instead of trying to get all the money from licensing fees . And Elon Musk is stuck in this mess because of it, which isn’t fair either . I wish they would find a way to make internet services more affordable and accessible to everyone . This shutdown has caused so much harm and I hope they can resolve it soon .
