Based on the information provided by the Chinese Embassy in Gabon, the Regulatory Authority for Post and Telecommunications of Gabon (ARCEP) recently issued a statement re-emphasizing that 'Starlink' satellite internet equipment has not yet secured approval for use within Gabon. Consequently, the utilization and sale of such equipment are deemed illegal. ARCEP urges the public to opt for internet service providers that have been officially endorsed by the Gabonese authorities and to avoid purchasing or utilizing 'Starlink' equipment. Offenders may be subject to penalties, including fines, confiscation of equipment, and potential imprisonment.
