Description

Description	The Ontario government planned to roll out high-speed broadband access to rural and remote areas by the end of 2025, subsidizing access to SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet system. The project aimed to serve 15,000 underserved homes and businesses, including Indigenous communities, by covering the cost of dish hardware, installation fees, and reserving network capacity. However, after canceling the $100 million Starlink contract due to tariffs and political reasons, the broadband rollout has been delayed to 2028, with the government exploring other technologies such as fiber, fixed wireless, and satellite.
