I am done with this forum. I have never taken meds and I am tired of hearing it every comment. If just one of you would have seriously backed statpedia with the amount of time spent criticizing people, it probably would have been enough to create snowballing success by now. It is time for me to spend my free time doing more productive things to make this happen.

We are using the word “charge” but there is something like exchange between the wifiex device & the satellites so we can make it for later use .

Allright , we will give you example :)
Have you seen those “Portable battery chargers for smartphones” ?
Well the idea of the device is based on it , but the difference here is the internet part.
Instead of charging the device from pc with electricity you will charge our device ( WiFiEX) with internet from your home-wifi.
And yes , we will also try to cover the whole planet with satellites for sure , so you will be able to have internet everywhere you go.

a company that claims you can charge internet at home then use it on the go with a satellite network (that they hope to launch soon) in a tiny package AND that they have a prototype and all the software completed (but they can't show you). sounds legit right? honest mistake?

this sort of assumes that people would know the difference between static and dynamic content. it'd fail for like 80% of the internet and you could never sell something like that

now, essentially free worldwide internet? sign me up

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.
