Facebook Internet Satellite Plan Is Back On

Description

Earlier this year Facebook abandoned plans to build its own passenger jet-sized, solar powered drones to provide internet access in remote stretches of the world. Gizmodo reports that the company is once again pursuing plans to launch satellites to do the job instead. According to Freedom of Information Act requests filed by Wired, the Federal Communications Commission has met several times with representatives from Facebook and its confirmed (or suspected) subsidiaries.
