summary:

This 6minute english was about the outernet.

The outernet is an idea of Syed Karim to give people in unconnected communities information without having to use mobile phones and two way satellite networks.

It uses existing communications satellites to store and broadcast data and special equipment on the ground receives the data and this can be copied to phones and computers.

 Google is working for 'project loon' it uses ballons.

The signal travels from balloons to balloons then to the station on the ground which is connected to internet.

 Outernet can increase the number of people using internet.

I think this is great.
