List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 16 May 2022 21:22:53 -0000 Hello, The Canadian province of Quebec wants to subsidise Starlink-subscriptions for 10,200 hard to reach homes. The subsidy, apparently, is not ongoing, but a one-off for purchasing the hardware. In four Manitoba communities, federal money will provide a subsidy of CAD 900 each for 1,162 households. That covers the device plus tax, but not Starlink's delivery fee or any cost of installation. https://www.commsupdate.com/articles/2022/05/16/starlink-utilised-in-quebec-manitoba-rural-broadband-programmes-portability-option-launched https://www.canada.ca/en/innovation-science-economic-development/news/2022/05/government-of-canada-invests-over-1-million-to-bring-high-speed-internet-to-up-to-1162households-in-manitoba.html FYI Daniel
