Free wi-fi to Entire World From The Space

A US based company is now coming up with a new concept known as an ‘Outernet – a global network of cube satellites which will be broadcasting Internet data to all the people on the planet  for free over wifi.

The purpose of this  idea is to offer free Internet access to all people, regardless of demographics, bypassing filtering or other means of censorship, as per  the New York basedNGO, Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF).

MDIF proposes that hundreds of cube satellites be built and launched to create a constellation of sorts in the sky, allowing anyone with a phone or computer to access Internet data sent to the satellites by several hundred ground stations.

The organisation claims that 40 per cent of the people in the world today are still not able to connect to the Internet – and it’s not just because of restrictive governments such as North Korea – it’s also due to the high cost of bringing service to remote areas, ‘phys.org’ reported.



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 one-way – data would flow from feeders to the satellites which would broadcast to all below.

MDIF plans to add the ability to transmit from anywhere as well as soon as funds become available.

MDIF has acknowledged that building such a network would not be cheap. Such satellites typically run $100,000 to $300,000 to build and launch.
