Starlink suddenly provides free internet for the country? Details of Elon Musk's latest meeting with Trump revealed

【CryptoPush】Recently, a high-level meeting between a tech entrepreneur and U.S. political figures has attracted market attention. According to reports, the tech magnate shared a photo of a dinner with American leaders on a social platform at a critical moment, showing that the relationship between the two sides has significantly improved—previously, they had several public disagreements.

What’s more noteworthy is the coincidence of the timing. Just hours before this dinner, a geopolitical event was taking place. Coincidentally, the satellite internet project under the company announced an important decision on the same day: to provide one month of free broadband service to a South American country, valid until February 3rd.

Starlink did not specify the exact reason in its statement. However, data from network monitoring agencies shows that certain areas of the country’s capital experienced internet outages during the event—possibly related to power anomalies. Overall, the country’s internet connectivity remained largely stable.

The overlapping timing of these events has led people to consider: internet infrastructure is becoming a new battleground in geopolitics. As the world’s largest commercial satellite internet system, Starlink’s coverage and policy orientation have long gone beyond mere technology. Whether providing or suspending service, there may be complex political, commercial, and strategic considerations behind it.

For Web3 practitioners, this reminds us: the discourse power over infrastructure is crucial. When internet connectivity itself becomes a resource that can be allocated, the importance of decentralized networks is even more pronounced.
