Nova Scotia Expands Satellite Internet Rebate Program, Starlink Included

According to a report by Tesla North, the Satellite Internet Service Rebate program in Nova Scotia, which also includes SpaceX Starlink, is expanding to more residents and businesses soon.

The source notes that the program is opening applications, and is expected to benefit as many as 2,200 more business owners and individuals in the remote region. The number will be added to 3,700 individuals and businesses already announced as program beneficiaries.

“Our government committed to extending internet access to every household in Nova Scotia and closing the connection gaps,” said Economic Development Minister Susan Corkum-Greek.

“This expansion is about levelling the playing field so that Nova Scotians who are the furthest out from gaining access to internet can get connected more quickly.”
