Outernet aims to provide data to the net unconnected
“When you talk about the internet, you talk about two main functions – communication and information access,” he told the BBC. “It's the communication part that makes it so expensive.” So, Outernet focuses instead on information. The project aims to create a “core archive” of the world's most valuable knowledge, culled from websites including Wikipedia and Project Gutenberg, a collection of copyright-free e-books. This would be updated on roughly a monthly basis.
