Forget the Internet - soon there will be the OUTERNET: Company plans to beam free Wi-fi to every person on Earth from space
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...plans-beam-free-wi-fi-person-Earth-space.html

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'

You might think you have to pay through the nose at the moment to access the Internet.

But one ambitious organisation called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) is planning to turn the age of online computing on its head by giving free web access to every person on Earth.

Known as Outernet, MDIF plans to launch hundreds of satellites into orbit by 2015.

And they say the project could provide unrestricted Internet access to countries where their web access is censored, including China and North Korea.

They will block it, just like how they blocked porn and 'objectionable content' online.

The telco cartel and the govt will also collude to protect their own business interests. For example, the oil cartel in Singapore made the govt implement a 3/4 tank rule for vehicles entering JB.

It is still illegal to own satellite dishes in Spore.
Even if it is legal e.g. TV aerials to receive Malaysian TV, they have removed them from HDB land to give a monopoly to such businesses like Starhub.


I've decided to switch to fiber because with VPN I can access foreign TV stations, movies,... without being censored & paying Spore prices .
Already doing that with internet radio but with video I need a faster connection.

They can't filter this. The reason why they can do it now because they own the internet exchange. When this is up, they can only put greater enforcement on satellite ownership or jam the signal

why must we pay when there are free options? Should we go hong lim and protest if they block it?
