Have you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wi-Fi in their houses?
Have you ever searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be Yes . Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can't live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.
A rich,powerful organization in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund ( MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit (轨道) .
This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population have been able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure (基础设施) to access the web.
We can expect to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.
