Nakon što su uragani Helene i Milton prouzrokovali razaranje na jugoistoku, Starlink je priskočio i ponudio besplatan pristup internetu putem satelita pogođenim zajednicama.

Međutim, ova naizgled velikodušna ponuda dolazi s visokom cijenom. Iako je usluga besplatna mjesec dana, žrtve moraju kupiti fizički terminal koji košta gotovo 400 dolara kako bi mu pristupili.

Starlink, podružnica SpaceX-a predvođena Elonom Muskom, ponudila je pomoć s ciljem podrške procesu oporavka u područjima gdje su tradicionalne mreže komunikacije bile ozbiljno poremećene.

Unatoč početnom uzbuđenju zbog mogućnosti besplatnog interneta tijekom takvog izazovnog vremena, neki su pojedinci brzo otkrili skriveni trošak – skupi terminal potreban za korištenje usluge.

Iako je namjera ponude bila pomoći u hitnom odgovoru i oporavku, stvarnost situacije je da pristup besplatnoj usluzi u konačnici uključuje značajna financijska ulaganja.

Dakle, iako je gesta pružanja besplatnog pristupa internetu hvalevrijedna, osnovni trošak predstavlja prepreku za mnoge žrtve uragana koje žele ostati povezane tijekom posljedica oluja.
