Some people debate that instead of free Internet we should be providing food and vaccination shots instead.

Once the satellites are in place they can hand out cheap tablets and laptops to get people on the Internet, set up a village with a receiving station and solar panels and batteries to power the devices to recharge them.

I suppose i'm on the internet side due to the "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day teach a man to fish and he can feed himself for life". You can focus efforts on food (which is good), but doesn't it sound even more amazing that a child in a villag could teach himself calculus from Khan acadmy for free and over come the position he was born into?

That child would have to learn English first, and find some way of surviving illnesses and lack of food to better herself/himself to be able to get a better job that pays enough money to feed them for life.
