After earthquakes, Starlink to provide free internet in Venezuela

Starlink, the satellite internet company owned by Elon Musk, said it will let users in Venezuela access its service for free for one month after earthquakes hit the country.

The company also said it is working on a rapid deployment of Starlink terminals to restore internet connectivity in areas that were especially badly affected.

No further details were given on the extent of the damage or on exactly when the free access and equipment rollout will begin, but the announcement was presented as a direct response to the quake emergency in Venezuela.
