News Summary

SaskTel has partnered with SpaceX’s Starlink to deliver satellite internet services to businesses and farms in Saskatchewan. The collaboration, set to commence on April 1, follows 18 months of negotiation and aims to address the connectivity challenges faced by rural areas. Businesses with a valid GST number, including family farms, can access Starlink services through SaskTel, benefiting from local equipment, billing, and technical support. This initiative skips the pilot phase due to previous successful Starlink deployments for emergency connectivity. Existing Starlink business customers can also transition their accounts to SaskTel for consolidated telecommunications billing.
