Charity Raising Money To Buy Used Satellite

Zothecula writes "For those of us who live in the developed world, internet access has become pretty much a given. It's become so ubiquitous that we almost expect to have it at all times and in all places, but even in this 'Information Age,' the majority of the world's population lacks access to the internet – either because service isn't available where they are, or they can't afford it. Kosta Grammatis has a plan, however. Through his charity group ahumanright.org, Grammatis aims to set up a network of satellites that will provide free internet access to everyone in the world. He's starting by attempting to buy a single used satellite that's already in orbit and moving it to a location above a developing country."

Re:Free access for all...

Wouldn't it really be VERY unfair to give them access to the Internet?

I mean, they'd get on...look at all the quality porn....and see all the women out there that are nutritionally sound, have nice hair, bodies in good shape and no flies on them.

Just torture for them to see that, and then look around at what's actually available to them...
