Facebook's Mighty Drones and Satellites Will Soon Beam Down Internet Access

Consider yourself lucky. The fact that you're reading this post makes you one of the 2.7 Billion fortunate humans who have access to the internet. This also means that the rest of the remaining 5 billion or so earthlings are still offline. No Google. No Facebook. Sucks right?

Well, Facebook and friends want to change all that with internet.org. Internet.org is a Facebook-led initiative bringing together technology leaders, nonprofits and local communities to connect the two thirds of the world that don’t have internet access. Internet.org partners include Qualcomm, Nokia, Samsung, Mediatek, Ericsson and Opera.
