Lets buy a satellite for global good ! m not jokin
Last october I was part of a unique experiment - Palomar5 in Berlin. The Deutsche Telekom ( T-Mobile) funded 7 week - innovation camp brought together 30 young changemakers from different domains and geography. As a resident innovator we worked on various ideas and one of them "ahumanright.org" is the brainchild of Kosta Grammatis.
“Why don’t we recycle a satellite? Just fire the thrusters and re-position it over a country that could use better access to the Internet. There has got to be a few we can buy?” - Kosta , a visiting researcher at MIT Media Labs
Serendipity : The Terrestar-1 satellite, launched in 2009, is as big as a school bus, connects to a tiny handset called the Genus, and proves that communication satellites can provide data services effectively. The company that owns that satellite filed for chapter-11 bankruptcy protection on October 19th 2010.
