hackerspace global grid seek sat net to thwart net censors

Hacktivist Nick Farr at the Chaos Communication Congress "called on the community to contribute to a project that would remove the power of censorship from governments and corporations by creating an uncensored Internet in the free frontier of space," reports infowars.com. "'What we're seeing right now is a big explosion in people launching cube sats,'" Farr told TECHNEWSWORLD. The article summarizes: "Organizers of a project called the "Hackerspace Global Grid" want to launch a network of small, low-orbiting satellites in order to facilitate Internet access that can't be blocked by government censors. The network would also include an array of base stations around the world. The project's developers are excited, but doubters say it's not going to fly." Cubesat design and kits have indeed proliferated, making impossible seem less so. The idea has met criticism, but present writer can only praise effort!
