Mark Zuckerberg took to his blog yesterday to announce the next phase of his Internet.org initiative, to deliver Internet to the majority of the world which currently has no connectivity.
Today, we're sharing some details of the work Facebook's Connectivity Lab is doing to build drones, satellites and lasers to deliver the internet to everyone.
We've made good progress so far. Over the past year, our work in the Philippines and Paraguay alone has doubled the number of people using mobile data with the operators we've partnered with, helping 3 million new people access the Internet.
He goes on to describe the team working on this project, including NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab and the UK aerospace company Ascenta. Which casts doubt over previous speculation that Facebook is planning to acquire Titan Aerospace.

Lets tell the third world how much better the first world is. It's a place where we watch fat men eat 5 kilo burgers and wonder who Brittany Spears is screwing. They will love us, thank us, and want to be like us, willing to throw all their wealth and income for the disposable crap we buy. This sounds like a good idea. And we can data log that too so we can market the wonderful first world to them too.

This makes no sense... guns, ammunition, do-it-your-self IDE guides, nail bombs the easy way, the 12 step hijacking guide. What happened? I don't get it. There must be a glitch.
