New Scientist: Race to put internet into orbit

*New Scientist* magazine interviews radio amateur *James Cutler KF6RFX *as
part of their story on plans to launch hundreds of Internet satellites into
a 1200 km orbit

This month, Virgin Galactic and chip-maker Qualcomm announced their backing
of a venture called OneWeb. This plans to put 648 satellites in orbit about
1200 kilometres above Earth's surface, where the round trip time for radio
waves is just a few thousands of a second, fine for any online application.
SpaceX immediately announced its own plan to do the same, building and
launching 4000 satellites to a similar altitude.
