## Starlink Community Program Launch
SpaceX's Starlink service will target nine markets in Latin America, Asia, and Africa for its Community program offering hourly, daily, and weekly internet passes.
## Community Program Terms
The program requires a host to install a Starlink kit for sharing access with paying customers and includes a legal document for nine countries: Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Rwanda, Chile, Peru, Dominican Republic, Indonesia, and Brazil.
## Community Pass Rules
Community Passes for 24 hours or less are not eligible for refunds, and users must agree not to resell passes as a standalone service.
## Host Requirements
Hosts can be cafes, bars, apartment complexes, or neighborhoods and earn from every connection while Starlink handles payments and connectivity.
## Service Plan Update
Starlink.com updated to add 'Community' as a service plan with language stating Starlink manages all telecommunications functions including billing and customer support.
## Business Restrictions
Business and enterprise users are barred from the Community program, though Starlink may permit indirect connections in multi-family residential environments.
## Key takeaway

Starlink plans to launch a community internet program in 9 countries with hourly, daily, and weekly passes but has not disclosed pricing.
