Full Title:
Now Google is going to dominate space: Search giant to launch 180 satellites to provide internet access for the ENTIRE planet, sources claim
The world wide web may seem like a global community, but two-thirds of the planet still remain without access.
Now, Google is planning to change this by launching a fleet of 180 satellites to provide web access for the 4.8 billion people not yet online, according to sources close to the company.
The California-based giant will spend more than $1 billion (£600 million) on the technology, which will rival Facebooks efforts to connect remote regions of the world.

I know this.
It sucks.
Its like running my truck on muzzie oil
We’re all whores....but at least we know it
We can still fight them when the opportunity arises
They are a helluva lot worse than the Bell System ever was.....

Here's part of the one I was thinking about.
Total Control
I want total control of the airports
Total control of the sea
And total control of the freeway
Total control of police
I want total control of the subway
Total control of my life
Total control of all variables
Total control of your wife
Total control
Total control
Total control of machines
Total control
Total control
I'm sure that's what happiness means
So I know that I'll need lots of money
To get where I'm trying to be
I've read all about it in magazines
I've heard all about it on radio
I've seen all about it on tv shows
I've got to grab all the gusto
And I know that means total control
So I want total control of the oceans
Total control of the moon
And total control of the children
Total control of my room
I want total control of emotions
And total control of the wind
Total control of beginnings
Total control of the end

Satellite internet is ok as long as your are not planning to do anything where latency is an issue, however with a minimum 1000ms delay, things such as online gaming our impossible.

They might still be concerned, but NASA’s lack of launch vehicles means their opinion no longer matters.

Yes, about 3 seconds round trip. The majority of it is processing the error correction; the lightspeed delay is about a third of a second. Monthly bandwidth limit is 15GB up and down, so no torrents. It sucks much less than dialup.
