Outernet is beaming the important parts of the Internet down to Earth

In the developed world, the Internet has changed our lives in a way that nothing else has, or probably ever will, but there are many parts of the world where this vast wealth of information and resources isn’t accessible. This is where a startup known as Outernet believes it can be of assistance. Using rented communications satellites, Outernet is already bringing the Internet to half of the planet’s surface, but not the entirety of the Internet, just the resources that can prove useful to people in less developed nations, such as Wikipedia.
