  • Trade war begins: After Trump’s tariffs, Canada province bans US firms & dumps Musk’s Starlink


    Trade war begins: After Trump's tariffs, Canada province bans US firms & dumps Musk's Starlink

    Canada’s Ontario on Monday banned US firms from government contracts in a move that will scrap $100-million deal with Elon Musk‘s Starlink.
    Doug Ford, premier of Ontario, said the ban would persist unless the Trump administration lifts recently imposed tariffs on Canada.
    Last year, the Doug dispensation had inked an agreement with Musk, who is a key part of the Trump government, to deliver high-speed internet to remote residents in rural and northern Ontario.
    “Every year, the Ontario government and its agencies spend $30 billion on procurement, alongside our $200 billion plan to build Ontario. US-based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in new revenues. They only have President Trump to blame. We’re going one step further. We’ll be ripping up the province’s contract with Starlink. Ontario won’t do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy. Canada didn’t start this fight with the U.S., but you better believe we’re ready to win it,” the Ontario premier wrote on X.

    Earlier, Ford announced that his officials would soon be removing American products from provincial liquor store shelves.
    His statement came a day after British Columbia Premier David Eby announced that the local authority will stop buying liquor from US Republican states.
    Canada’s move is in retaliation to Trump’s sweeping new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China, a move that has triggered sharp reactions from global leaders and financial markets.
    The tariffs, which Trump says are aimed at protecting American workers and industries, have sparked fears of economic retaliation from affected countries.
    Meanwhile, Trump said that he would talk to Trudeau at 3.00 PM about drug pouring through the borders of Canada.
    “Canada doesn’t even allow U.S. Banks to open or do business there. What’s that all about? Many such things, but it’s also a DRUG WAR, and hundreds of thousands of people have died in the U.S. from drugs pouring through the Borders of Mexico and Canada. Just spoke to Justin Trudeau. Will be speaking to him again at 3:00 PM,” Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social.





    In response to President Trump’s recent tariffs on Canadian goods, the province of Ontario has announced a ban on all US-based companies and has decided to cut ties with Elon Musk’s Starlink project. This move comes as a retaliation to the escalating trade war between the two countries, with Ontario officials citing the need to protect their own economy and interests.

    The decision to ban US firms and sever ties with Starlink has sparked controversy and debate within the province, with some critics claiming that the move will only serve to further damage the already strained relationship between Canada and the US. However, Ontario officials have stood by their decision, stating that they will not stand idly by while their economy suffers as a result of Trump’s tariffs.

    The trade war between the US and Canada shows no signs of slowing down, and Ontario’s bold stance against US companies is just the latest development in what could be a long and tumultuous battle. As tensions continue to rise, it remains to be seen how this trade war will ultimately impact both countries and the global economy as a whole.

  • Ontario premier ‘ripping up contract’ with Musk’s Starlink in response to tariffs


    The leader of Canada’s most populous province of Ontario says he’s ripping up a contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink internet services in response to Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Canada, as well as banning American companies from provincial contracts

    TORONTO — The leader of Canada’s most populous province of Ontario said Monday he’s ripping up a contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink internet services in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Canada.

    Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who said he is also banning American companies from provincial contracts, signed a $100-million Canadian (US$68 million) with Musk’s company in November to deliver high-speed internet to remote residents in rural and northern Ontario.

    “We’ll be ripping up the province’s contract with Starlink. Ontario won’t do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy,” Ford said in a post on X.

    Ford said starting Tuesday and until U.S. tariffs are removed, Ontario will ban American companies from provincial contracts.

    “Canada didn’t start this fight with the U.S., but you better believe we’re ready to win it,” said Ford, who called an election for his province last week.



    In a bold move, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced today that he will be “ripping up” the contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service in response to new tariffs imposed on Canadian exports.

    The decision comes as a response to the recent announcement by the United States to impose tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum products, a move that has sparked outrage and concern among Canadian politicians and industry leaders.

    Premier Ford stated that the tariffs are “unfair and unjust” and that he will not stand idly by while Ontario businesses and workers are harmed by these punitive measures. He also emphasized that he will not allow Musk’s company to profit off the backs of hardworking Ontarians while their livelihoods are threatened by the tariffs.

    The decision to terminate the contract with Starlink is sure to have far-reaching consequences, as the satellite internet service was seen as a potential solution to rural connectivity issues in the province. However, Premier Ford remains steadfast in his commitment to defending Ontario’s interests and standing up to what he sees as unjust trade practices.

    This move is just the latest in a series of aggressive actions taken by the Ontario government in response to the tariffs, and it is unclear what the future holds for the province’s relationship with Musk’s company. Only time will tell how this decision will impact Ontario’s internet infrastructure and the broader economic implications of the tariffs.

  • Ford ‘ripping up’ Ontario’s $100M contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink in wake of U.S. tariffs


    Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford is “ripping up” Ontario’s nearly $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink in the wake of U.S. tariffs on virtually all Canadian goods, he said in a statement Monday. 

    The contract, signed in November, was meant to provide high-speed internet access through Starlink’s satellite service to 15,000 eligible homes and businesses in rural, remote and northern communities by June of this year. 

    “Ontario won’t do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy,” Ford said in the statement. 

    Ford said Ontario will ban American companies from provincial contracts until U.S. tariffs are removed. 

    “U.S.-based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in new revenues. They only have President Trump to blame,” he said. 

    On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 25 per cent tariffs on virtually all goods from Canada and a lower 10 per cent tariff on Canadian energy products

    Musk, an adviser to Trump, is overseeing the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in co-operation with the president’s administration. 

    Ford has faced criticism for the contract, with Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie calling on him to end the deal last week. 

    “If he were serious about standing up to Trump, he would cancel his sweetheart deal with Elon Musk,” Crombie previously said in a news release. 

    Ford defended the contract at the time, saying there was a transparent bidding process and it was part of the government’s plan to get everyone in the province high-speed internet. 

    Starlink growing quickly in Canada 

    According to a news release from Infrastructure Ontario in January 2024, only two satellite internet service providers could meet the province’s needs.

    Those were Musk’s SpaceX, which runs Starlink, and Xplore Inc., a Canadian rural internet service provider. Both providers were invited to participate in a bidding process, the release said, with SpaceX ultimately winning out. 

    Starlink surpassed Xplornet, operated by Xplore Inc., as the leading satellite-based provider of rural and remote internet access service in Canada in 2022, according to a report by the Global Media and Internet Concentration Project in December. 

    As of 2024, Starlink has around 400,000 subscribers in Canada, the report said. 



    In a shocking turn of events, Ford announced today that they will be “ripping up” their $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink in Ontario. This decision comes in the wake of new U.S. tariffs that have significantly increased the cost of importing Starlink’s satellite technology.

    The contract, which was originally signed in hopes of providing high-speed internet to rural areas in Ontario, has now become financially unfeasible for Ford due to the added costs of the tariffs. In a statement released by the company, Ford expressed their disappointment in having to cancel the contract, but emphasized that they must prioritize the financial well-being of their business.

    This move is sure to have significant implications for both Ford and Starlink, as they now must find alternative solutions to provide internet access to underserved communities in Ontario. It remains to be seen how this decision will impact the future of Elon Musk’s ambitious satellite internet project.

    Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

  • T-Mobile Hints at How It Will Charge Users for Cellular Starlink Access


    After it moves out of beta, T-Mobile’s cellular Starlink service might be a free perk — but only for subscribers on the more expensive plans. 

    In a Wednesday earnings call, T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert briefly discussed the carrier’s plans to monetize direct-to-cell Starlink connectivity once it becomes commercially available in the US.

    “We think this will be another reason—maybe the most compelling reason in a long time—to self select up our rate card,” he said. “This will be something that customers on our most valued pack plans will be able to benefit from. And so that’s an area that we’ll monetize.”

    T-Mobile's CEO

    Translation: It gives people a reason to upgrade to a pricier plan. And T-Mobile is betting that enough people will want satellite connectivity to stay connected in cellular dead zones. The Starlink technology currently only supports SMS texts, but pending regulatory approval and more satellite launches, it’ll eventually power voice calling and internet downloads.

    Sievert also sees the cellular Starlink service as a way for T-Mobile to stand out from other carriers, enabling it to retain and attract customers. “Market share, that’s an area where we’ll monetize because this is a differentiated service that we think touches on a chord with the American public,” he said. “The idea of being connected everywhere. [If] you can see the sky, you’re connected.”

    T-Mobile will also offer cellular Starlink via “a la carte sales,” or what will likely be a paid add-on. Sievert didn’t give an exact price but said a la carte offering is meant to appeal to “those who don’t have the plans that include it.”

    T-Mobile kicked off beta tests of the cellular Starlink system earlier this month, enabling a select group of customers to try out the technology. Sievert added that T-Mobile has been focusing the beta tests “more in the northern” parts of the US due to better satellite density.

    “And what you’re going to see is a phasing. So first, we’re letting people in, in limited numbers, to the beta. Then pretty soon, there’s going to be a moment where we widen that aperture by quite a bit, and that will be an exciting moment,” he said. “And then pretty soon after that, we begin commercial service.”

    Interested T-Mobile users can sign up for the free beta at the carrier’s website. The program was initially restricted to five Samsung models, but T-Mobile has since expanded the beta tests to iPhones running the newly released iOS 18.3.

  • iPhone Starlink compatibility sends direct-to-smartphone stocks sliding 


    ORLANDO, Fla. — Shares in direct-to-smartphone satellite players tumbled Jan. 29 after Apple enabled iPhones with a T-Mobile cellular plan to join beta tests for SpaceX’s rival Starlink service in the United States.

    The capability was discreetly rolled out earlier this week with Apple’s iOS 18.3 software update, Bloomberg reported Jan. 28.

    Shares in Globalstar, which enables connectivity beyond the reach of cellular towers on the latest iPhones via a far-reaching partnership with Apple, closed down nearly 18% the following day. Constellation developer AST SpaceMobile slipped 12%.

    Canada’s MDA, which is building at least 17 satellites for Globalstar after Apple agreed to cover most of the costs to replenish the constellation, also saw its shares fall more than 9%.

    Unlike Starlink and AST SpaceMobile, which rely on cellular partnerships for the radio waves needed to provide direct-to-smartphone services, Globalstar uses its Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) spectrum licenses.

    “Combined, today’s price action in Globalstar and satellite manufacturer MDA suggest a real investor fear that SpaceX could disintermediate the Apple-Globalstar partnership,” said Adam Rhodes, a senior telecoms analyst at Octus.

    “However, it appears to us that there is room for both services. Based on the information we have seen, we do not anticipate that Apple views the T-Mobile-Starlink service as a replacement for the Globalstar MSS network, but rather it is choosing to enable the added feature on its T-Mobile phones.”

    Starlink’s beta service is initially limited to SOS and basic texting, similar to Globalstar’s space-enabled iPhone connectivity, until its constellation expands and regulatory approvals allow for higher satellite power.

    Last year, Globalstar disclosed Apple’s plans to inject $1.7 billion into a new constellation to enhance space-based communications for iPhones, though details remain undisclosed.

    Apple and Globalstar did not respond to requests for comment.

    B. Riley analyst Mike Crawford noted that Apple’s two binding contracts with Globalstar extend well into the next decade, ensuring both capital expenditure (capex) and recurring service revenues.

    “In a perfect world, Apple will reap vast utility from this partnership,” he said.

    “Regardless, Apple is contractually committed not only to pay recurring wholesale service revenues but also to reimburse 95% of capex for [Globalstar’s] replenishment satellites over the service life of the existing constellation.”

    MDA Space is also likely one year into Globalstar’s extended MSS network constellation, he added, citing progress on replenishment satellites that SpaceX is slated to begin launching this year.

    While SpaceX has already launched hundreds of Starlink satellites with direct-to-smartphone payloads, Crawford emphasized that this “will not be a winner-take-all market.”

    He noted that SpaceX must also either modify its current satellite architecture or secure Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval for a band-specific power flux-density (PFD) adjustment to enhance services. Meanwhile, he said AST SpaceMobile’s satellites already comply with the FCC’s proposed regulatory framework for direct-to-smartphone services.

    AST SpaceMobile, which has partnered with AT&T and Verizon in the United States, is still awaiting permission to begin beta tests after deploying its first four operational satellites last year.



    Recently, news broke out that the upcoming iPhone models will be compatible with SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service, sending stocks of traditional internet providers plummeting. This groundbreaking development has sparked concerns among investors in companies like Comcast and AT&T, as the prospect of users switching to faster and more reliable satellite internet becomes increasingly likely.

    With Starlink aiming to provide high-speed internet access to even the most remote areas around the world, the compatibility with iPhones could potentially revolutionize the way we connect to the internet. This has raised questions about the future of traditional internet providers, whose stocks have already taken a hit in anticipation of this technological shift.

    As consumers eagerly await the release of the new iPhone models and the opportunity to access Starlink’s services, the competition in the telecommunications industry is expected to intensify. Only time will tell how this development will impact the market, but one thing is for sure – the era of satellite internet is upon us, and the implications are far-reaching.

  • Apple’s New ‘Game Changer’ iPhone Update Brings Starlink Satellite Access


    Apple has just released iOS 18.3, its latest iPhone update (full details here) and the software contained a surprise extra: compatibility with the Starlink satellite network, according to a new report.

    “Apple Inc. has been secretly working with SpaceX and T-Mobile US Inc. to add support for the Starlink network in its latest iPhone software, providing an alternative to the company’s in-house satellite-communication service,” according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

    ForbesApple Brings Back iPhone 15 Pro For First Time—At Lower Price

    Gurman describes the software update that supports the technology as an “under-the-radar move,” and the tie-up between the companies as “a surprise.”

    While T-Mobile already had a Starlink satellite option for users to send emergency messages when outside cellular range, it was for Samsung phones only. And Apple’s Emergency SOS via satellite service used the rival Globalstar network.

    A post on X from Mario Nawfal, founder of IBC Group, described the update as a “game changer”, saying “Apple quietly adds Starlink to iPhones in iOS 18.3.” Since Apple already has its Globalstar service, why is this a game-changer?

    Well, as Nawfal puts it, “The key difference? No more pointing your phone at the sky—Starlink works right from your pocket.” Nawfal’s comment was reposted by Elon Musk, who said that “Medium resolution images, music & audio podcasts should work with the current generation Starlink direct-to-phone constellation. Next generation constellation will do medium resolution video.”

    A small number of iPhones on the T-Mobile network have been enabled to work as a beta test, receiving messages saying, “You’re in the T-Mobile Starlink beta. You can now stay connected with texting via satellite from virtually anywhere. To start experiencing coverage beyond, please update to iOS 18.3.”

    “Users in the program have a new toggle switch in their iPhone cellular data settings to manage the satellite feature,” Gurman says.

    The first version is just for texting, but SpaceX and T-Mobile say they have plans to expand into data connections and voice calls in due course. The service will work automatically, with an iPhone on T-Mobile connecting to SpaceX satellite when out of cellular connectivity. Right now, the number of iPhones in the beta is “minimal, with T-Mobile planning to expand the program in February,” Gurman adds.

    Right now, only iPhones in the U.S. have this connectivity, and it applies to handsets from the iPhone 14 onwards.

  • Starlink Now Kenya’s 8th Biggest Internet Service Provider


    Starlink has become Kenya’s eighth-largest internet provider, growing its subscriber base to 16,746 and capturing a 1.1% market share. This rapid ascent, surpassing competitors like Liquid Telecommunications, highlights the ISP’s popularity in the country’s satellite internet market. Starlink’s affordability and improved latency, thanks to a Nairobi-based ground facility, have driven demand, especially in underserved areas. Competitive pricing, such as a $10 50GB data plan and reduced hardware costs, has further bolstered its appeal. Consequently, Starlink has gained market share at the expense of traditional ISPs like Safaricom and Airtel Kenya, which have expressed concerns over its rapid growth. Meanwhile, Kenya’s telecom regulator has proposed steep licensing fees and annual levies for satellite providers like Starlink. If successful, the regulations would hurt smaller satellite ISPs like Viasat and NTvsat, which have fewer than 300 subscribers.

    Starlink, the satellite internet company founded by Elon Musk, has officially become Kenya’s 8th biggest internet service provider. With its high-speed, low-latency internet service, Starlink has quickly gained popularity among Kenyan users who were previously limited by slow and unreliable internet connections.

    The company’s satellite internet service has revolutionized the way Kenyans access the internet, providing faster and more reliable connectivity in even the most remote areas of the country. This has opened up new opportunities for businesses, schools, and individuals who rely on the internet for communication, education, and entertainment.
