Free Data From Space With Othernet (Is Almost Over!)

Video Description

People frequently ask me how to get free satellite Internet. This little gadget is probably the closest thing I've seen to such a system. While it's not full two-way Internet, it does provide a constant downlink of news, sports, Wikipedia and Atlas Obscura articles, and other curated content. It's called "Othernet" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Othernet) Unfortunately, it's only around until December of this year! The project had some good ideas, but never managed to secure stable funding or a consistent frequency on a commercial satellite feed. For now though, it is still alive and broadcasting data over Ku band to the company's SDR-based receivers.
