Hey guys, For this, anyone know what's the last mile connectivity that Facebook will offer? With all their ideas - flying drone, satellite, balloons etc - I don't see info on how they will do the connectivity. Or will they go the Microsoft way with white spaces. Regards, Alex

That's some engineering for cellphone <> satellite communications. @Dennis I was checking out that link and there was some comments about what Endaga run as being illegal due to lack of licenses to use the cellphone bands. Would like to see how Facebook circumvent this if they will run on this technology. Regards, Alex On Wed, Oct 7, 2015 at 12:13 PM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:
