In a strategic decision aimed at preventing information blackouts and keeping the population online during the intervention led by the United States, Starlink announced that it will provide free satellite internet to all users in Venezuela. This measure was taken immediately following the capture of Nicolás Maduro. While the navigation service will be free until February 3, users must previously have the necessary hardware installed, which captures the signal directly from the low-orbit satellite constellation, avoiding dependence on local telecommunications infrastructure. Elon Musk's company confirmed that the broadband service will be free of charge until next February 3. According to Noticias Argentinas agency, the stated objective is to 'guarantee continuous connectivity' for the population at a time of maximum political uncertainty and a power vacuum.
