Another Future Internet Option?
Both The Washington
Post and The Verge, as well as numerous other sources, recently
reported on the planned launch of 2 test rockets by SpaceX, Elon
Musk’s aerospace corporation. SpaceX plans to launch a network of
around 12,000 satellites with the intention to deliver satellite
internet around the globe. The reason is obvious as stated in the
Washington Post article “More than half of the world’s population
still doesn’t have an Internet connection, according to a
2017 United Nations report. Of those people, about six in 10 live
in the Asia-Pacific region, while two in 10 live in Africa.” The
corporation expects to begin launching the actual satellites to be
used in the network next year.
