Starlink offers a paid service; however, it often comes at a lower price point than many local internet services, particularly in countries like Brazil. The service is especially designed for areas devoid of traditional connectivity. Musk emphasized its utility during natural disasters, providing immediate communication capabilities when traditional lines are down.
For instance, during a disaster in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, SpaceX sent 1,000 Starlink terminals, demonstrating its commitment to facilitating connectivity in crisis situations. This capability underscores Starlink's strategic intention to provide not just an internet service, but a lifeline in emergencies.
