A U.S BASED COMPANY TO PROVIDE FREE WI-FI AROUND THE GLOBE FROM SPACE

A company based in US is planning to beam free wifi around the globe by building an Outernet- a global network of cube satellites broadcasting internet data to all people on the planet for free.

The idea is to offer free internet access to all people regardless of location or any other means of censorship,this is according to the New York based non profit organisation,Media development Investment Fund(MDIF).

MDIF proposes that hundreds of satellites be built and launched to create constellation of sorts in the sky allowing anyone with computer to access internet data sent to the satellites by several hundred ground stations

The organization claim that 40 per cent of the people today are still not able to connect to the internet due to some restrictions from government like North Korea and also due to high costs of bringing service to remote areas.

An outernet would allow people from Siberia to parts of the western US to remote islands or villages in Africa to receive the same news as those in New York or Tokyo.

The outernet would be oneway data will flow from feeders to the satellites which would broadcast to all below.MDIF plans to add ability to transmit from anywhere as well as soon as funds become available.

MDIF acknowledge that building such network would not be cheap.Such satellites typically run USD 100,000 to USD 300,000 to build and launch.
