Ontario has partnered with Starlink, signing a nearly $100 million agreement to provide internet access to 15,000 rural homes and businesses by June 2025. Infrastructure Minister Kinga Surma announced the U.S.-based Starlink, chosen over Canadian bidder Xplore, will focus on remote areas, working with Indigenous communities for equitable access.
Ontario aims to connect every community by 2026, with 100,000 connections completed so far and plans for 450,000 more. This partnership marks a critical step in Ontario’s commitment to high-speed connectivity across its vast landscape.
