Starlink, SpaceX's satellite communication, is preparing a new service to bring its internet connection to more people while involving neighbors of a community, in exchange for compensation. The technology company is preparing the arrival of Starlink Community, a service designed to provide satellite internet coverage to a community, through an individual or a company, in which users pay for passes of varying durations (one hour, one day, one week, or one month). What characterizes this shared internet service is that the person or company that installs the Starlink kit, for example, in their local business or neighborhood community, receives income for each connection from other users. SpaceX announced this service last year and has now enabled the form for those interested in participating in the beta program to join as hosts. In it, the company asks them to explain their plans, that is, the place where they would install the kit, the number of neighbors who would use it, the pass they consider would be most popular, and even the price they would be willing to pay.
