The past decade marked a strong development of the global information system, especially the internet. Today we can exploit information not only through computers but also from handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets.
However, in fact, there are still 7/10 people who do not have internet access. Thus, the number of people is limited to finding information up to 5 billion globally.
To solve this problem, the founder of Kosta Grammatis wants to buy a TerreStar-1 communication satellite from TerreStar. This effort is carried out in 3 steps: First collect $ 150,000 for financial planning, send satellite bid prices, hire engineers. Phase two will send official bids, developing open source modems with orbital slots. Phase three will move the satellite to a new orbit with partner countries deploying the service.
The $ 150,000 figure is only the initial amount to start the project, the final cost may be much higher. For example, a satellite called Iridium was sold recently for $ 23 million. When charitable groups can raise the necessary funds, plan for insurance by using money from telecommunications companies to buy and resell high-speed bandwidth, the internet will be a free service for all. everybody.
