| dc.description.abstract | In January 2025, a licence was issued for Starlink to offer internet services in the Pacific nation of Samoa. The announcement followed a year-long period during which government regulation of Starlink received media attention and generated much interest. This In Brief examines Samoan media coverage during the period leading up to the announcement in order to gauge levels of public communication regarding policy shifts in a period of heightened interest. We document the extent to which the public was informed and find that communications could have been more effective. | |
