Facebook originally planned to provide Internet connections from its own satellites, but according to a publication of its Telegraph, probably the plans changed.
Η δημοσίευση αναφέρει για μια νέα συμφωνία μεταξύ του Facebook και της Eutelsat που αναμένεται να ξεκινήσει στα τέλη του 2016 για την free providing internet to Africa via a satellite already in orbit.
Eutelsat reports that satellite capacity will provide "Direct-to-User" Internet access using its equipment.
So users located in even the most remote parts of Africa can have online connections.
Facebook is also reportedly building giant drones to provide Internet access to remote areas, but that particular one technology just started testing.
Satellite internet access will be provided through Internet.org, its non-profit organization companys dedicated to bringing the world online.
Global adoption of the Internet appears to be slowing, mainly due to the challenges posed in remote areas.
So Facebook plans to tackle these connection problems with the new partnership.
Let's not forget that the more users the Facebok has, the stronger the online empire of Mark Zuckerberg.
The expansive policy of the company is not an altruistic plan, as more users mean more revenue.
