| Abstract: | Now that the clouds have cleared from his sky, McCaw, 46, has decided to create a celestial counterpart to the Internet, the burgeoning network of networks that carries ever greater streams of digital data and sound and pictures back and forth around the globe. The hunger for that kind of exchange seems certain to grow, overwhelming the ability of communications companies to bury fiber beneath the streets of the world's cities and throughout the neglected by populous hinterlands. McCaw would put this power to interact within reach of everyone on earth within a decade. |
