| Facebook founder Zuckerberg announced an ambitious project to provide Internet access from space. |
Noting that "the traditional connectivity is efficient", the owner and founder of Facebook announced plans to provide Internet from space via satellites.
"I'm excited to announce our first project to provide Internet from space. As part of our efforts to connect the world through Internet.org, we are partnering with Eutelsat to launch a satellite into orbit that connects millions of people" Zuckerberg said in a statement from their social network profile Facebook.
He added that "over the past year Facebook has been exploring ways of using planes and satellites to transmit internet access to terrestrial communities from heaven. To connect to people living in remote regions, the infrastructure of traditional connectivity is often difficult and inefficient, so we have to invent new technologies. "
And he followed up the official presentation of the new project, in partnership with the company Eutelsat, which plans to launch a satellite, named Amos-6, with which they provide coverage and Internet access to large parts of Africa, to the south Sahara.
"The Amos 6 satellite is under construction and will be launched in 2016 in a geostationary orbit that cover large parts of the west, east and southern Africa [...] We will work with local partners through these regions to help communities begin to access Internet services provided through satellite, "he said Zuckerberg.
