Space.com : A private individual is raising money to buy a communications satellite to provide free internet service to developing countries. Kosta Grammatis, CEO and founder of ahumanright.org , hopes to purchase the TerreStar-1, a spacecraft that launched in 2009 and is owned by a company that filed for bankruptcy. Grammatis and his team plan to pay the bills by allowing telecommunications companies to buy and resell high-speed bandwidth, even as they provide a slower connection speed for free to everyone. Jeremy Hsu of Space.com conducts a brief interview with Grammatis about his plans.
