In Ukraine began to turn off Starlink satellite communications
Currently, many Starlink satellite communication terminals have stopped working in Ukraine. This is reported by the Ukrainian press, referring to the founder of the People's Starlink group Volodymyr Stepants.
According to Stepanets, now the terminal owners are trying to contact the technical support service of Elon Musk's Space X company for help. But when they try to contact the terminal owners, they receive answers about signs of fraudulent activity.
As reported in the profile community in the social network, Ukraine was at the center of a fraudulent scheme for using a satellite communications system. Fraudsters buy promotional equipment and resell it to Ukraine. The equipment is then discarded and the operator stops servicing the company's terminals. In addition, cases of sale of stolen satellite communication terminals in Ukraine are recorded.
Many Ukrainian entrepreneurs are trying to save up to 30% of the cost of terminals by purchasing equipment abroad - from intermediaries, and not from Space X.
Thus, the terminals can be stolen, or listed on the return list. Naturally, the company blocks accounts and communication stops working. We are talking about the threat of shutting down tens of thousands of Starlink terminals. Meanwhile, a lot depends on satellite communications, in particular, it is also used in the military sphere.
Earlier, Elon Musk threatened to turn off Starlink in Ukraine if the Ukrainian authorities did not pay for satellite communications services.
