Billionaires battle for the Internet in space

A hand full of billionaires are trying to get the chance to provide internet from space to millions of people, they all want to do the same thing but dont want anyone else doing the same. Elon Musk is a billionaire who is planning on sending satellites up into pace which are 750 miles from planet earth and send them into orbit. He is planning on providing cheap affordable internet at which is faster than the normal broadband speeds that we currently have now. He says he would want to provide the other 3 billion users that are offline and do not have internet access.Facebook are planning to create load of drones that they will shoot up to space. these drones have only one purpose which is to provide the other 4 billion non active internet users wifi so that they are able to surf the internet. Today only 2.7 billion people use the internet, just over a third of the worlds population. However, still the rest remain without internet.
