The group is hoping to raise tens of millions of dollars in donations to get the project on the road.

Wow....all it takes is use of real catchy phrases like "Wide RF technology", UDP, Cubesats (like those research programs funded by DARPA), and on and on and on.

I'm surprised they didn't through in "big data" somewhere there.

Physics is a real "b!tch." Taking a standard cell phone that has at most 10, 20 mW (heck, make it 100 mW) RF power and a likely omnidirectional antenna gain and then jumping to a 'cubesat' with an equally pitiful power budget when it comes to 'wide RF' transmission, along with all the other problems this 'scheme' could take is truly a feat.

Give them your money. They only need 'millions', but they'll take 'billions'.
