TechPCMag AustraliaStarlink 'Community Site' Program Teases Hourly, Weekly Internet Passes
Starlink is testing a community program where hosts sell hourly, daily or weekly internet passes to neighbours and earn a cut of each connection.
'Neighbors pay for flexible hour, day, week, or month passes — and you earn from every connection,' the satellite internet service says on the new 'Starlink for communities' site.
SpaceX quietly launched a Starlink Community program that lets people become hosts and sell flexible internet passes to nearby users.
Pass options include Hour, Day, Week and Month, with Starlink handling payments and access, though no pricing has been listed yet.
A beta interest form is open across dozens of countries, so affordable short-term satellite internet could become available in more communities soon.
Australians in rural or underserved areas could soon buy short-term Starlink passes without a full subscription, worth watching if your internet options are limited.
