Facebook it is a company with very big ambitions, and here we are mainly talking about earning as much profit as possible, but in order to achieve this, the American company must offer something to the world in which it exists. A new amazing project from Facebook aims to bring internet to the whole world thanks to a satellite that the Americans intend to put into orbit as compensation for the failed drone project that was supposed to bring internet to developing countries.
Facebook developed a drone that would fly through developing countries and was supposed to provide free internet access for people, but it didn't prove to be feasible, although a lot was invested in it. Considering that this project proved to be a failure, Facebook reoriented itself, and now it would like to launch a satellite into the earth's orbit, at the moment the project regarding its development has the code name Athena in the company.
Facebook: The AMAZING Project for the Whole Planet
Facebook has a serious problem at the moment, more precisely, it has no way to increase its user base, because all those who have access to the Internet either have an account on the platform or are not interested in it. To solve the problem, Facebook wants to bring internet to areas of the globe where it is not available, or is available at high prices and low speeds, Africa being the continent that the company wanted to connect to the internet with its drone.
"While we have nothing to share about specific projects at this time, we believe satellite technology will be an important enabler of the next generation of broadband infrastructure, making it possible to bring broadband connectivity to rural regions where internet connectivity is lacking or non-existent .”
Facebook will now focus its money on satellites that will fly 160-2000 km above the earth, which can provide high-speed internet for the areas they fly over, all being offered free of charge by the company. Those at Facebook think that they can bring the Internet to areas of the globe where they don't really have users, and then convince them to use the social network, and get money from them by selling ads.
