Samsung wants to blanket the world with space-based Internet access

It looks like you can add Samsung to the ever-growing list of companies that want to create their own network of satellites that would bring affordable Internet access to billions of people. Internet data usage is growing at a rapid pace, especially on mobile devices, which is going to put massive strain on existing infrastructure in the coming years. Rather than going through the lengthy and costly process of upgrading all of that infrastructure, however, Samsung is proposing that we create a network of a few thousand micro-satellites that would not only be able to meet data demands, but also bring Internet access to Earth’s more remote regions.
