Question

The Equiano and 2Africa projects aim to expand access to this service across Africa. Project Taara made a 2021 demonstration of this service in Kinshasa and Brazzaville using light beams. A failed attempt by the Loon company (15[2])would have provided this service to remote areas of Africa using balloons. (15[1])Seacom provides subsea (15[2])technology to deliver this service, though provisioning in rural areas is often dogged by “last-mile” problems. It's not (-5[1])(*) cell service, but Huawei is the largest provider of this service in sub-Saharan Africa. In February 2023, Elon Musk ordered SpaceX to prevent Ukraine’s military using this service by cutting off access to the satellite-based Starlink. For 10 points, Google and Meta have used fiber optic cables to provide what service? ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: internet service [accept fiber optics; accept web service; prompt on satellites with “for what purpose?”]
