Forget the Internet - soon there will be the OUTERNET: Company plans to beam free Wi-fi to every person on Earth from space

.An ambitious project known as Outernet is aiming to launch hundreds of
miniature satellites into low Earth orbit by June 2015
.Each satellite will broadcast the Internet to phones and computers giving
billions of people across the globe free online access
.Citizens of countries like China and North Korea that have censored online
activity could be given free and unrestricted cyberspace
.There's really nothing that is technically impossible to this'

Hey, whats a few more microwaves raining down upon our heads.

[Operator]

Nothing in this world comes free ... there will be a 'price' attached :rolleyes:;)

[Jean-Luc]

Could sound great at first sight, at least in terms of EMF exposure, as a satellite source is by definition much further away than a phone mast or a local or a city Wi-Fi base station.

But this also means a garanteed explosion of hand-held Wi-Fi units (which are all land-based 'base-stations' by themselves), thus much, much more radiation points.
Also, it seems reasonable to assume that unless the signal is really strong (which I doubt), the hand-held units will nead to 'scream' with much higher power output.

As for freedom of information, I would not be surprised if this Outernet would be a restricted, limited and controlled version of today's Internet.

[Flash]

This is also global surveillance. In the hand of the good, it would be great. In the hands of the actual powers, it is terrible.

[ThePythonicCow]

As for freedom of information, I would not be surprised if this Outernet would be a restricted, limited and controlled version of today's Internet.
Of course it will :).

From the basic technology on up, satellite communications are better suited for broadcasting the same (or a few hundred channels of the same) content to billions of viewers than they are suited to a two-way, good bandwidth each way, form of communication.

A couple hundred cable channels of pablum aren't sufficient, so now they will extract "accepted" or "popular" Internet material to provide a couple hundred more channels.

This is the same transformation as radio underwent, from the hands of the few communicating equally with each other, to yet another means of "mass communication" (as those of you Americans a bit older than myself, who first listened to US President Roosevelt's "fire side chats" on the radio, might recall from the 1930's.)

Since the number of channels from this Outernet will be limited (the economic structure of the investment required to set this system up would be sufficiently large so as to ensure that the number of channels is limited, even if the technical details didn't), therefore our "big brother" will of course work in "our best interest" to ensure that the best, authorized, materials and sources are provided.

To quote the article linked in the opening post of this thread:
Much like how you receive a signal on your television and flick through channels, Outernet will broadcast the Internet to you and allow you to flick through certain websites.

[Operator]

But this also means a garanteed explosion of hand-held Wi-Fi units (which are all land-based 'base-stations' by themselves), thus much, much more radiation points.


Good point, people tend to forget this (Including my own kids). There is no WiFi in this house and they keep
saying "but there is still radiation from the neighbors"? True, at least lower intensity ... I even had to convince
one of my neighbors to lock his WiFi otherwise my kids would still be on their smart phones all day long.



As for freedom of information, I would not be surprised if this Outernet would be a restricted, limited and controlled version of today's Internet.

Yep, satellites are vulnerable and can easily be blocked or taken out when certain power groups still want
to censor information, so I doubt that that's the real reason.

Another thought I had about shoving worldwide access through everybody's throat is something like project
blue beam. If you want to deceive worldwide you have to make sure you control all the media streams
worldwide at the same time.

Bombarding earth with wifi???? :scared:

German government just announced (finally!!!) that wifi, DECT and mobile phone radiation is harmful to our health.

http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/germany-warns-citizens-to-avoid-using-wifi-401845.html




People should avoid using Wi-Fi wherever possible because of the risks it may pose to health, the German government has said.

Its surprise ruling – the most damning made by any government on the fast-growing technology – will shake the industry and British ministers, and vindicates the questions that The Independent on Sunday has been raising over the past four months.

And Germany's official radiation protection body also advises its citizens to use landlines instead of mobile phones, and warns of "electrosmog" from a wide range of other everyday products, from baby monitors to electric blankets.

The German government's ruling – which contrasts sharply with the unquestioning promotion of the technology by British officials – was made in response to a series of questions by Green members of the Bundestag, Germany's parliament.

The Environment Ministry recommended that people should keep their exposure to radiation from Wi-Fi "as low as possible" by choosing "conventional wired connections". It added that it is "actively informing people about possibilities for reducing personal exposure".

Its actions will provide vital support for Sir William Stewart, Britain's official health protection watchdog, who has produced two reports calling for caution in using mobile phones and who has also called for a review of the use of Wi-Fi in schools. His warnings have so far been ignored by ministers and even played down by the Health Protection Agency, which he chairs.

By contrast the agency's German equivalent – the Federal Office for Radiation Protection – is leading the calls for caution.

Florian Emrich, for the office, says Wi-Fi should be avoided "because people receive exposures from many sources and because it is a new technology and all the research into its health effects has not yet been carried out".

Never mind the wifi as long as most people (and probably your neighbours too) use DECT technology based telephones and babyphones in their house.
This goes right through walls and penetrates your house.

http://www.earthcalm.com/cordless-phone-radiation-dangers/

Think of wifi as a cessna type plane and DECT as a jumbojet.

[Camilo]

Perhaps it will mean less freedom, more surveillance, higher exposure to EMW and microwaves, and even a shorter life span for users. It fits within the PTB plan for mass extinction doesn't it?

Nothing in this world comes free ... there will be a 'price' attached :rolleyes:;)

That's what I immediately thought of when I saw this article pop up on my Facebook feed yesterday.

[Agape]

When I came back to Europe from India in 2005 ( I've entirely missed the start of the internet boom and bloom here ..) , I hoped for laptop at some point and internet connection ..and thought this is how it works !! .
I knew hell not you still need cables, routers and pay companies aka internet providers to make the whole thing so complicated .

So yes I hope for this to occur , delayed by 10 years at least .. free wifi in the air and all you need to connect is your reception enabled device ;)

[danceblackcatdance]

people laugh at me when i tell them close proximity to my laptop using wifi gives me a rash :D

[Wind]

That's interesting. When a couple of years ago I got my Macbook I developed an annoying eczema to my right palm and to both of my soles. I've had rash previously in my life too, but it has never gotten this bad. I also have candida which has complicated my life a lot and I think that it is causing the eczema, but could the laptop and actually worsen my skin condition? It certainly makes me think if I should get rid of this machine...

[Sith73]

Wind, Natural radiation in low does such as radiation hormesis will knock that candida out. You can do this with natural stones and or beads. You might also have internal parasites that need to be killed off which natural radiation will do.

Really? Natural radiation is a new subject to me, I don't know much about it. Where could I get those stones and are they really safe, could you tell me more about it?

[Sith73]

Wind there's a whole thread on the forum about "Radiation Hormesis"

Do a search on radiation hormesis in the forum or you could look through my forum post. Lots of information here and I can help point you in the direction you need to go.

Yes the stones are safe and you can purchase beads as well. I know where to get everything cheaply.

[gripreaper]

This is the worst possible scenario for mankind, to fully expand and globalize the microwave wireless grid to where the entire planet is a "hot spot". This has been discussed here many times before, and Barry Trower's work is on You Tube and his brilliant thesis as well. Go find it and read it.

But, the absurdity of all this, is that you see people raging against the Fukushima radiation while talking on their cell phones. Anyone else see the irony of this? Anyone else see how microwave technology is the worst possible thing for mankind? while mankind vehemently embraces and totally defends it? even though it means their utter demise and extinction to do so?

Of all the things we talk about and look at around here, this is the one thing that has me totally flabbergasted, amazed, gobsmacked, shocked, and speechless.

Someone wanted a viz. of wifi/radio/etc waves ... and I so happened to have a screen grab from a film:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g04j06qq94t3yyd/Screenshot%202014-02-19%2015.39.09.png
Now, imagine when they cover the whole of everything with this 'red' fog...total soup.

Why nobody mentions on their website that the information will be totally accessible from outer space? And how easy it would be for someone with the right technology to mess with it as much as he/it can and want? I mean, come on!

If it wouldn't be for nefarious purposes I also see advantages (to be honest).

When everybody has his/her own individual signal there will be high intensity in overlapping
areas as is clearly shown on your picture. When coming from a far away source the intensity
would be more equally spread out. But the main question is what would be the intensity
beamed by those satellites?

[chocolate]

I was thinking about that too, the overlapping and the advantages, just like Agape mentioned.
But I hope it will be postponed until there is a better solution.
Even now we are totally suffocated by all kinds of waves, the plants are going to go, and we soon after if not at the same time.

This is the preparation for our 'cloud telekinesis' type of communication. They will implant a nice little ship in our brains, to make all of this much more convenient, and we are going down.
Welcome to TRANSCENDENCE,

[Amysenthia]

When I first heard of this plan by Soros I could not help but think of the Asyhana Dean material in which she talks about the plan by the reptilians to put a magnetic net of sorts around the planet to prevent it from taking on the vibrations that will take us to the next dimensional shift that is to occur due to the harmonic convergence.

information about it from https://www.outernet.is/

Information for the World from Outer Space

Unrestricted, globally accessible, broadcast data.

Quality content from all over the Internet.

Available to all of humanity.

For free.

By leveraging datacasting technology over a low-cost satellite constellation, Outernet is able to bypass censorship, ensure privacy, and offer a universally-accessible information service at no cost to global citizens. It's the modern version of shortwave radio, or BitTorrent from space.

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. — Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

What Problem is Outernet Solving?

There are more computing devices in the world than people, yet only 60% of the global population has access to the wealth of knowledge found on the Internet. The price of smartphones and tablets is dropping year after year, but the price of data in many parts of the world continues to be unaffordable for the majority of global citizens. In some places, such as rural areas and remote regions, cell towers and Internet cables simply don't exist. The primary objective of the Outernet is to bridge the global information divide.

Outernet connects everyone around the globe.

Broadcasting data allows citizens to reduce their reliance on costly Internet data plans in places where monthly fees are too expensive for average citizens. And offering continuously updated web content from space bypasses censorship of the Internet. An additional benefit of a unidirectional information network is the creation of a global notification system during emergencies and natural disasters.

Access to knowledge and information is a human right and Outernet will guarantee this right by taking a practical approach to information delivery. By transmitting digital content to mobile devices, simple antennae, and existing satellite dishes, a basic level of news, information, education, and entertainment will be available to all of humanity.

Although Outernet's near-term goal is to provide the entire world with broadcast data, the long-term vision includes the addition of two-way Internet access for everyone. For free.
How Does it Work?

Outernet consists of a constellation of hundreds of low-cost, miniature satellites in Low Earth Orbit. Each satellite receives data streams from a network of ground stations and transmits that data in a continuous loop until new content is received. In order to serve the widest possible audience, the entire constellation utilizes globally-accepted, standards-based protocols, such as DVB, Digital Radio Mondiale, and UDP-based WiFi multicasting.

150 sattelites deliver various content to WiFi-enabled devices on Earth's surface

Citizens from all over the world, through SMS and feature-phone apps, participate in building the information priority list. Users of Outernet's website also make suggestions for content to broadcast; lack of an Internet connection should not prevent anyone from learning about current events, trending topics, and innovative ideas.
What Will Outernet Deliver?
News and Information

International and local news
Crop prices for farmers
Bitcoin blockchains

Applications and Content

Ubuntu & OpenStreetMap
Wikipedia in its entirety
Movies, music, games

Educational Courseware

Khan Academy and Coursera
British Council's LearnEnglish
Teachers Without Borders

Emergency Communications

Used when cellular networks fail
Disaster relief coordination
Global notification system

It certainly makes me think if I should get rid of this machine...

fungi like candida thrive on e-smog. the vibration of electric and magnetic fields from wires and appliances as well as electromagnetic vibration from wifi or wireless phones offers it a perfect environment. people who have candida or skin conditions like you describe and can't seem to get rid of them should first remove all kinds of e-smog from their environment.

[The Truth Is In There]

if people knew how harmful this kind of radiation is they'd not allow any such thing. humans have, for the most part, become totally numb to man-made electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields as well as the natural vibration of earth. those who learn again how to feel the radiation will stay far away from anything that vibrates in a harmful manner. i'm glad that i did, even though i can't stay longer than a few seconds in a house with wifi on, or with a wireless phone, or too close to a live wire even in a wall, without getting a headache. it's possible to glance from a distance at a house and tell if their wifi is turned on because then the vibration feels totally off. only the people who live there are totally numb to it...and wonder why their allergies, skin rashes or digestive problems don't get any better whatever they do.

[Labrenthina]

This reminds me of a vid I saw a while ago about LED globes. I do not know much about this topic although it does stand to reason we keep flooding our environment with artificial waves and each one alone may be tolerable but combined could have all sorts of negative effects.

Outernet...interesting. A few years ago I interviewed Steve Wasniack who co-founded Apple Computer with Steve Jobs. I asked him about having free internet access from satellites and he said that the technology was not available...glad he was incorrect :-) I am in favor of internet for the world.

As many of you know I am not fearful of the radiation any longer our research about radiation is found in this thread:

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?46819-A-video-they-won-t-want-you-to-see--Galen-Winsor-nuclear-scare-scam-

The Russian radiation women that Kerry Cassidy interviewed and several other people over a year ago or longer has a couple of new interviews.

This one is hard to understand, but if you listen closely it is worth the time. At the 10 minute mark they are asked about Fukashima.


Get ready to have your long held beliefs challenged once again, as Stewart and Janet Swerdlow interview the controversial and mind-blowing Irradia Couple. Discover why everything you have been taught about radiation is a lie, according to Ziria and Erkrieal, and how radiation can actually be beneficial to humankind. This is a "must see" interview!

Outernet...interesting. As many of you know I am not fearful of the radiation any longer

I'm not sure were talking about the same thing here. Fallout from nuclear power plants is not the same thing as microwave. Have you listened to Barry Trower? Its the ability for microwave to enter the body, not as an airborne particle, but as an electromagnetic pulse, which can and does affect our DNA and our vital organs.

They're not the same.
