The world's largest social network, Facebook is making satellite to serve the Internet in the deprived areas. There are still many remote areas in the world where it is not possible to deliver internet services or provide good quality broadband services.

Therefore, in order to provide Internet services in those areas properly and to make Internet services available to the people of the deprived areas of the internet, they have taken initiatives to create Facebook Internet Satellite. Facebook named their satellite 'athena'. Facebook has applied to the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to create the satellite.

This application, called 'Pointview Tech LLC', has revealed that the project has been undertaken to provide broadband services to areas in the world that do not have internet services yet. For many years, Facebook has not achieved much success in this two projects. Although earlier, the Internet enabled the drone system to provide Internet services in remote areas. Later, due to various problems, drones stopped internet services.

In addition, last year, in the remote areas, the small helicopter was stopped by the Internet service that was launched. Facebook recently took this initiative to provide this service permanently. A Facebook spokesperson for Satellite athena said in a statement: "The project can not say anything specific at the moment. However, we believe that in the areas of the world where internet services have not yet been reached, it will be possible to access internet in those areas. "
