Internet connectivity has a direct, positive impact on important quality-of-life indicators: labor force participation, healthcare delivery, urban/rural education gaps, and more. It also allows communities to participate in — and share their stories with — the world at large.
However, people in the developing world pay the most expensive wireless data services in the world — an unfortunate collision of low incomes, high demand, and insufficient infrastructure.
SateNet delivers low-cost, local, and long-term wireless Internet to the communities that need it most.
We believe communities should not only have access to high-quality internet connectivity, but be able to manage it as a self-sustaining, revenue-earning community resource.

SateNet -- Community-Run Internet Service Provider
Internet connectivity is a force multiplier: more jobs, better healthcare access, improved education, and broader economic participation. But millions of people in the developing world pay the world’s most expensive mobile data for unreliable service—because demand is high and infrastructure is scarce. Three billion people remain offline even where service is available . The SateNet model changes the math. We help communities build wireless network services that they can manage as a self-sustaining, revenue-generating local asset. This means durable infrastructure with compounding impact. Your donation funds vital wireless internet infrastructure with lasting community benefit. From there, revenue from usage and Bitcoin mining take over, creating a self-sustaining community resource. Contributions to SateNet stand to deliver powerful impact: $30,000: 3 communities, 10,000 people $3 million: 300 communities, 1 million people So even at a relatively small scale, just $3 per person can help build long-term access and opportunity. Fund a site. Fund a future.
