Tech giants race to build orbital internet [News]

Facebook may soon join SpaceX and OneWeb in the rush to deliver the Internet from orbit. A recent filing with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revealed details of a multimillion-dollar experimental satellite from a stealthy company called PointView Tech. The satellite, named Athena, will boast a data speed 10 times as fast as that of SpaceX's Starlink Internet satellites, the first of which launched in February.
