Question

A project to provide this service made use of the Autolauncher “Chicken Little” in Puerto Rico and could develop new components in a half hour. The Equiano and 2Africa projects aim to expand access to this service across Africa. Project Taara (15[1])made a 2021 demonstration of this service between Kinshasa and Brazzaville. (-5[1])A failed attempt by the Loon company would have provided this service to remote (15[1])areas of Africa using (*) balloons. (-5[1])It's not cell service, (10[1]-5[1])but Huawei is the largest provider of this service in sub-Saharan Africa. (-5[1])In February 2023, Elon Musk ordered SpaceX to prevent (10[1])Ukraine’s (10[1])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? (10[1])■END■ (10[3])

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