Starlink 社区计划内测：房东可按时、天、周、月向附近用户售网
Starlink Communities will let hosts sell internet access to nearby users
SpaceX 正在内测 Starlink Communities：一套 Starlink 设备为附近多名用户提供高速上网，用户可购买小时、天、周、月四种通行证，其中小时/天/周卡限 1 台设备、月卡最多支持 4 台设备。Starlink 负责账号创建、支付、连接与访问控制，房东负责选址安装、供电与日常维护，并从每笔付费连接中分成。通行证价格、房东分成比例与正式上线时间均未公布；社区内测兴趣表已面向数十个已开通 Starlink 服务的国家开放申请，公寓、露营地与乡村路口被列为潜在场景。
SpaceX is beta-testing a new Starlink program that would allow hosts to share a single connection with nearby users, who can purchase internet access by the hour, day, week or month.
The program, called Starlink Communities, is being promoted through a new website recruiting people to become hosts. As PCMag reported, Starlink describes the concept as, “One Starlink Kit delivers high-speed internet to multiple users nearby.”
The Community Beta Interest Form is accepting applications from dozens of countries where Starlink is already available, including Canada.
Users would have four options – an Hour Pass, Day Pass, Week Pass or Month Pass. The hour, day and week options provide access for one device, while the month pass supports up to four devices.
Starlink handles much of the operation behind the scenes, including account creation, payments, connectivity and access controls. According to the company, “Starlink takes care of payments, user access, and connectivity.” Hosts are responsible for setting up the site, finding suitable placement, providing power and handling basic upkeep.
In return, hosts receive a share from each paid connection, although SpaceX has not said how much. Potential locations highlighted in coverage include apartment buildings, campgrounds, rural crossroads and event sites or venues. Campgrounds could make the program another way of expanding access alongside portable options such as Starlink Mini.
There are still several major details missing. SpaceX has not published pricing for any of the passes, the revenue split for hosts or a launch date.
A Community option isn’t entirely new. Earlier reports on a Starlink Community option emerged last year through a support page for authorized resellers and enterprise customers, when SpaceX described monthly passes through shared community access.
