Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet system is poised to foster some positive change among students in rural Australia. As per a recent press release, Starlink will be powering Project Halo, a program from Australian telecom provider NetVault and noted software maker Cisco aimed at providing a regional school with a AU$100,000 grant towards the buildout of a world-class communications system.
This would be one of the first times that Starlink would be deployed to a community in Australia. The satellite-based internet system’s deployment in NetVault and Cisco’s project would be an excellent way to demonstrate Starlink’s potential as well, especially since applications for the program are open to any school located at least 50 km from their closest capital city.

A creative director has been baking sourdough by night and in the early morning in the hopes of helping raise $1 million, if only to make things a little easier for at least one family.
Patrice Pollack is behind Bread & Better, a hidden home-based sourdough bakery where a portion of the proceeds from every loaf sold goes toward SickKids.
