Global satellite communication system Starlink has announced the launch of free access to broadband internet in Venezuela. The announcement appeared on the company’s official account in social network X. The service will be provided at no cost for a month. Company Starlink offers residents of Venezuela free broadband internet access until February 3, ensuring seamless connectivity.
Recently, it became known that Starlink, owned by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, will deliver more than 100 internet terminals to schools in remote communities of Armenia. The company manufactures an average of 24,250 new Starlink kits daily, which is 62% more than nine months ago.
Starlink’s expansion into Latin America marks a significant step in increasing internet accessibility in underserved regions. This initiative also aligns with ongoing political tensions where access to unrestricted communication services can influence social dynamics. Meanwhile, competitors in the region, such as OneWeb and Amazon’s Project Kuiper, are also accelerating their deployment plans, aiming to capture a share of the burgeoning market for satellite internet amid rising demand for reliable and affordable connectivity solutions.
Starlink’s ongoing technological advancements, such as enhanced terminal design and improved signal reliability, continue to set the pace against its competitors. These innovations are crucial for maintaining operational superiority and appealing to diverse international markets.
