There are 20 million linux users. If even half of them pay 10$ ( Rs. 500/-) each, we get 100 Million $. Add to that donations and sponsors from big Linux companies and some organizations.
The idea is really good but is it affordable
If it gets going through donations and sponsorship then it can be dedicated to the people for free downloads for 15 years. It will reach every corner of Asia and Africa irrespective of local technological roadblocks. The only one time cost is for buying the receiver equipment.
Good idea Rony. But to sustain a satellite for 15 years you need to pay anual maintainance fee to some agency. How do you plan to arrange that fee ?
Right now the most important part is to get the technology possible.
