Facebook originally planned to provide Internet connections from its own satellites, but according to a publication of its Telegraph, probably the plans changed.
The publication mentions a new agreement between Facebook and Eutelsat that is expected to begin at the end of 2016 for free internet provision in Africa via a satellite already in orbit.
Eutelsat says the satellite capacity will provide Internet access “Direct-to-User” 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 deliver access to the Internet in remote areas, but that this particular technology has only just begun to be tested.
Internet access via satellite will be provided through Internet.org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing online the world.
Global adoption of the Internet appears to be slowing, mainly due to the challenges posed in remote areas.
So Facebook plans to address these problems connections with the new collaboration.
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.
