Outernet rising in USA

[edit]

DrudgeReport headline for USA: Forget the Internet - soon there will be the OUTERNET: Company plans to beam free Wi-fi to every person on Earth from space.

Quoting from the sub-headline:

  • An ambitious project known as Outernet is aiming to launch hundreds of miniature satellites into low Earth orbit by June 2015
  • Each satellite will broadcast the Internet to phones and computers giving billions of people across the globe free online access
  • Citizens of countries like China and North Korea that have censored online activity could be given free and unrestricted cyberspace
  • 'There's really nothing that is technically impossible to this'

This appears to be inevitable, but I don't know about 'free'. — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 21:42, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
