RE: Super Low Cost Internet for all 8 billion people on Earth by 2024 - Future Tech - Part 11.
Zuckerburg has been promoting a similar concept through Facebook - Elon might be a more ethical actor in the space though, as his bottom line is not directly connected to activating new social media markets like Zuck's is.
It will be lovely to see the entire world go online - this is an important part of our transition to a global Information Age.
Bransom and Qualcomm are also looking at doing something similar...called OneWeb I believe.
I think they are also going to start shooting up satellites in 2019.
Zuck is using Space-X's falcon Rockets to launch their satellites up. however, they are yet to do so. and the last attempt exploded in 2016 thanks to faceach going over the weight limit for the rocket.
ah cool! It's all tied together.
Thanks for sharing. I've been watching Aquila too, definitely think some combination of these technologies will lead to a real disruption of the entrenched conduit companies dominating fiber and landlines presently.
This development is another huge threat to the traditional pipeline gatekeepers. Definitely need to combat what they are trying to implement regarding net neutrality and consumer cost structures as they relate to average deployed broadband bandwidths.
