From balloons in the stratosphere to swarms of satellites in space, the race to get everyone online is heating up.

The internet may never be more useful than during the coronavirus outbreak. It provides us with the latest health information, educates our kids and lets us communicate with our loved ones face to face.

But only half of the world鈥檚 population is online.

Tech evangelists around the world are trying to change that. Using balloons and satellites, soon even the most remote areas on Earth will be able to log on.

But there is more to getting everyone online than the strength of the signal. People Fixing the World investigates.
