EarthNow LLC is planning to provide real-time video of the entire Earth via satellites
The first round of investments are from Airbus, SoftBank Group, Bill Gates, and Greg Wyler. Airbus is planning to mass-produce the satellites needed to cover nearly the whole surface of the Earth. The idea is to provide video services to government and corporate clients for the purposes of, for example, catching illegal fishing, watching hurricanes and forest fires, conflict zone observation, providing crop health data etc. The infrastructure will also make possible an array of consumer applications accessed from smartphones or tablets.
Too many ideas and innovation have been misused for me to think that this could be an exception. Frankly I am half convinced that this idea might actually already have behind the scenes funding/cooperation that would brings its potential to be used in the service of ..................evil, yes I think evil could be world I am looking for.

There are very good reasons to use these technologies @ friend @markkujantunen. But let me tell you the dark side, I think that those are excuses from the governments and corporations to keep us more watched and in the case of governments to watch other countries, besides this is the issue of space junk ... Have you seen the movie "Wall-e"?... The Earth had a layer of dirt (satellites), are objects of one or several tons rotating over our heads that if we think about it is a danger too (although if it fall, the friction would pulverize it ) Maybe I worry too much (everyone tells me).😅

It is absolutely clear that this technology will be used for spying on anyone. In the FAQ on the website, the question what the resolution was was answered in very vague terms along the lines of "according to customer requirements" or something like that. Machine vision and unprecedented onboard computing power were touted in the press release. This will be used for espionage and illegal tracking of individuals. That much is guaranteed.

Yes, they always say something like that. It's part of the "package" that they sell to people ... so that it sounds good or more diplomatic.

The world is definitely getting smaller. I like the fact they are using technology to protect our resources.

Despite the promises in their privacy policy, I think this technology will be used for more sinister purposes, too.

I don't think it's all about control. But it will be used for control, too.

It good to know we are gaining new technologies, but I hope it stays with right people and doesn't invade privacy regions to cause unnecessary issues.
