OneWeb internet access Still a few years off but if they can deliver what they claim at an affordable price, it sounds very promising. They certainly have serious financial support, and some big names involved.
  • And it also states "In early 2018 we will launch an initial 10 production satellites, which, pending a detailed test regimen, will become the first of our fleet. Six months later we will begin our full launch campaign and start providing low latency broadband access as early as 2019."
  • From their website: ..."our 2022 goal of connecting every unconnected school and our 2027 goal of bridging the digital divide." "To fully bridge the Digital Divide by 2027, making Internet access available and affordable for everyone." Let the countdown begin...only 11 years to go.
