Outernet is a humorous series of children's science fiction books written by Steve Barlow and Steve Skidmore.
Outernet is a wireless community network based in Poland, in which everyone owns their own node's hardware configured in a mesh network managed by OLSR. Participants must permit routing of other node's data through their routers, which allows building a large maintenance-free and low-cost network infrastructure which is a personal property of its users.
The Outernet, is a non-profit project currently under development, aimed at providing free wi-fi to all parts of the world, for free.

Outernet Inc is a global broadcast data startup currently being incubated by the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF), a United States-based impact investment fund and non-profit organization established in 1995 by Saša Vučinić and Stuart Auerbach. Outernet's goal is to provide free access to content from the web through geostationary and Low Earth Orbit satellites, made available effectively to all parts of the world.
The project uses datacasting and User Datagram Protocol through both small satellites, such as CubeSats, and larger, more conventional geostationary communications satellites in a satellite constellation network. Wi-Fi enabled devices would communicate with the satellite hotspots, which receive data broadcasts from satellites.
