Ontario Premier Doug Ford Cancels $100M Starlink Contract
betakit.comDoes he still have a plan "to provide high-speed internet to 15,000 homes and businesses in rural, remote, northern communities by June 2025" or did that get sacrificed for the principle too?
Yes, he is going to deploy Ricky from Trailer Park Boys to climb trees with some hubcaps.
I mean - people in those communities can purchase Starlink if they want (I know many people in the north who have had it since it first came to Canada, it was a "game-changer" for them) - this deal was actually at a higher level than Quebec negotiated for similar service, so...
It was a good start - it would be more meaningful if they prevent American companies from participating in the Ontario government procurement process overall.
