An non-profit American organization called "Media Development Investment Fund" (MDIF) is planning to offer free wireless Internet for all the inhabitants of the earth using hundreds of mini-satellites.
The idea of the ambitious project, which it called "Outernet", based on the release of hundreds of satellites thumbnail to low-Earth orbit, where each satellite receives the data from several hundred ground stations, then re- broadcast it via radio frequencies to phones and computers around the world.
This project - which will be launched by June 2015 - will enable the citizens of countries which its governments impose censorship on the Internet - such as China and North Korea - from unrestricted and open access to the Internet.
The company says it will be able to broadcast the Internet to all regions of the world, even remote ones, and the project will cost tens of millions of dollars, which seeks to collect it through donations and grants .
At the beginning, the company revealed that it will broadcast the Internet to people who are unable to access to the World Wide Web, to be broadcast in one direction from the satellite to the user, but stressed that the ultimate goal is to provide two-way broadcast in future phase of the project.
The Internet content, which available to browse through the "Outernet" network, will include news from different media platforms, and information from web sites such as Wikipedia, and applications such as OpenStreetMap, in addition to music, games and movies , along with free educational courses.
The company will begin in next June develop and test experimental model of satellites that will be used in the project, and then will continue to work on the project in the next year, up to the date of the launch and broadcast in June 2015.
