- A number of companies from across world plan to build networks of several thousand satellites each to enable access to the Internet from any point on Earth.
- These satellites will be stationed in low Earth orbit. If these plans are put into practice, the global Internet infrastructure will acquire a whole new dimension. This would have far-reaching consequences for Internet access, the security and resilience of Internet infrastructure, and power relations in global Internet governance.
- The home countries of the leading companies would have extensive potential for political influence. They would be able to control, at the level of the Internet’s global infrastructure, the worldwide flows of information. Hence the need to develop global oligopolies, the other a form of politically regulated global competition. It would be both politically and economically desirable for every country to build its own constellation.
