  "textContent": "Nov. 3, 2025 — Ontario _said_ it would delay its goal of delivering high-speed internet to every household until 2028, acknowledging fallout from its canceled $100 million contract with **Elon Musk** ’s Starlink. _Global News_ reported the revised timeline Friday.\n\nThe 2024 deal would have brought Starlink’s low-Earth orbit service to about 15,000 homes in northern Ontario.\n\nThe province ended the contract in March, citing “contract chaos,” supply-chain strain, and political tension over new U.S. tariffs.\n\nPremier **Doug Ford** _said_ in February that Ontario “won’t do business with people hell-bent on destroying our economy.” The agreement, part of the Ontario Satellite Internet (ONSAT) program, was intended to expand service to remote First Nations and rural communities.\n\nThe province’s _infrastructure agency_ later said it would reassess satellite options and pursue a mix of fibre, fixed-wireless, and other emerging technologies instead.\n\nOntario launched its $4-billion broadband plan in 2021, pledging to connect 700,000 unserved or underserved homes. Officials said the revised 2028 timeline maintains that commitment and remains Canada’s largest rural-connectivity initiative.",
