Facebook is \u00abexperimenting\u00bb with some LEO (low Earth orbit) satellites to connect the huge part of the world that remains without Internet access. After all, there are more than three billion products out there waiting to be sold, and Facebook wants to be the company that taps into all that merchandise<\/del>\u00a0those people. Wired<\/em> did the footwork on this story<\/a>, tracking down emails between the FCC and a lawyer representing Facebook through subsidiaries, but Facebook owned up to it when directly asked by the magazine. When I said \u00abexperimenting,\u00bb though, it really is an experiment. Facebook has been looking for ways to get the rest of the world connected for many years. Past experiments have included both a geosynchronous satellite (that blew up) and solar-powered gliders that didn’t work out. A network of up to thousands of LEO satellites, however, could do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":44881,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","tags":[198,40610],"class_list":["post-44880","cool-stuff-found","type-cool-stuff-found","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-facebook","tag-internet-access"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFacebook 'Experimenting' with Low Earth Orbit Satellites for Internet Access -
