Facebook has teamed up with Eutelsat to provide free internet in Africa.
The company's initial plan was to use its own satellite to provide the free internet, but, according to a new agreement the company has teamed up with Eutelsat to provide free internet to the sub-saharan part of Africa from next year(2016).
Facebook and Eutelsat will use the satellite AMOS-6 to beam direct internet to smartphones in west, East, and Southern Africa.
This satellite is made by an israeli company spacecom, and is expected to launch this year.
Africa, expect free internet soon.
