Looks like starlink is ready for Mozambique. Do they really need the "jehovah" dish? https://www.starlink.com/map

That "article" looks like it is pretty well the WT press release in its entirety. How long did the marketing department at Bethel spend, coming up with "JW Box"? 🙄

$75 for a wireless router that costs $33 on Amazon (incl free shipping)
A $4 monthly subscription for a USB stick with “spiritual food” that costs $1.42 per 100 when branded.
Oh, and the software they use is free (OpenWRT), I use other models from this brand myself at home.
And from their website, they had sold a few thousand in 2020, this must be a great revenue stream.

Exactly. It's inexpensive and very good I've heard. Speeds of 100mbps
Zero indoctrination as a bonus.Nigeria has it too, so "Rose" "Benjamin"and "Ivana"(funny name for a Nigerian) don't need Jehovah Box

Who were they selling them to? In the JW link you provided, they are suggesting that they use donated money for these, not charging the congregation.

@listener: then why do they lie about the cost and not simply say the program costs are $$. Everything in WTBTS world has a price tag and the congregations are forced to donate to a goal before getting what they want. You want a Kingdom Hall, better raise the amount of money it costs from the congregation to build it or you get nothing and then you get as a congregation practically a 15 year loan to pay off after which they’ll sell the property from under them and tell you to raise more money. I have the branch price lists for lecterns, audio equipment etc from when I was running the local building committee, and all of them, together with cars are JW or WTBTS owned businesses and they are marked up significantly.
