- The blog post, written by Zuckerberg, says: “As part of our Internet.org effort to connect the world, we’ve designed unmanned aircraft that can beam internet access down to people from the sky. Today, I’m excited to share that we’ve successfully completed our first test flight of these aircraft in the UK.
“Aircraft like these will help connect the whole world because they can affordably serve the 10 per cent of the world’s population that live in remote communities without existing internet infrastructure.”
That's pretty interesting. I never had a good impression of Zuckerberg (the movie didn't help), but this is a pretty nice thing to do. One thing: >This month, Internet.org was taken to the Philippines, making it the latest location to enjoy free access to at least 24 websites Facebook offers as part of the scheme. The company hopes to launch it in 100 countries, with rollouts in India, Ghana, Colombia, Kenya, Tanzania and Indonesia already completed. So they only have access to 24 sites? Is there some technical reason for this? What are the sites?
Wow, okay. I guess you can install the app which works with , which has a list: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.internet&hl=en "Browse a list of popular websites for free with a SIM card from a qualifying carrier.
