SpaceX to add 7,518 satellites to Starlink

Elon Musk, a person full of ambition and entrepreneurial mind is now all set to introduce to the world, a way which will be useful for people all around the world. He plans on providing a vast area of coverage for Internet and he’s going to do it in a way like no other has done before. His idea is to provide internet directly and completely wirelessly from space by launching internet beaming satellites into the low orbit space, lower than the International Space Station. This will result in low time Internet coverage from space to earth. This venture is expected to generate revenue of more than $30 billion by 2025.

This will be done by launching more than 7000 satellites into the orbit for which the permission has been given to SpaceX by FCC (Federal Communication Commission). Elon Musk has been given time to launch half of them in 6 years and to complete the launch in 9 years’ time span as allowed by FCC. This project has been given a name of “Starlink” in which total 12000 low orbit satellites will be launched into space. This project is expected to cost $10 billion and to be operational by 2020.

This service will provide a cheap global connectivity and internet access to remote areas where there was no internet until now, this project will also allow Internet of Things to grow as there will be an extensive and fast wireless connection. With such development from Space X, aerospace and communication giants like Boeing and Samsung are also sending their internet service satellites into the space. Google and Facebook also have plans to pursue such venture as Internet demand is going to double by year 2020. By 2020 their will be 3:1 IP address to global population that is 3 IP address or internet device to 1 person. To meet such demand SpaceX space internet mission will be extremely successful.

First AI News Anchor makes his debut on Screen

We all know that this era has become an era of technological miracles. Technology is advancing on regular basis and we keep on watching latest inventions and innovations. Every new day comes with a jaw dropping news which a person can hardly think of.

We have been hearing from past many years that Artificial Intelligence is swiftly progressing and in future humans will be replaced by robots. Well, the news is here finally. News Anchors around the globe and specifically in China may have a new competitor.

A TV anchor has joined a news agency in China but he isn’t a human. China State news agency Xinhua has launched an Artificial Intelligent news anchor. The anchor made a debut in World Internet Conference on Thursday.

According to XINHUA, The anchors were developed through machine learning to simulate the voice, facial movements, and gestures of real-life broadcasters to present a “a lifelike image instead of a cold robot,”

This AI anchor is the robotic version of XINHUA real life anchor Qiu Hao. The anchor on his debut said “This is my first day and I will keep you informed with every latest news as texts will be typed into my system uninterrupted. Not only can I accompany you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I can be endlessly copied and present at different scenes to bring you the news”

AliBaba plans to acquire EasyPaisa

AliBaba is world’s largest e-commerce platform chaired by Jack Ma. AliBaba group was founded back in 1999. It deals in B2B , B2C and C2C service via web portals.

In April 2017, Jack Ma had a meeting with then Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif in Davos where he expressed his interest to invest in e-commerce sector of Pakistan. Later that year, AliBaba acquired Pakistan’s biggest online retail store Daraz.pk. Though the amount of acquisition is undisclosed as per statement by Director Marketing of Daraz Mehdi Raza “AliBaba has a policy of not disclosing the amount”. Now AliBaba is planning to acquire EasyPaisa. Remember that AliBaba already surpassed PayPal as biggest mobile payment platform back in 2013.

EasyPaisa is Pakistan’s biggest micro financial service introduced by Telenor. For EasyPaisa account, you don’t need to open a bank account. Your account will be associated with your sim card. This totally revolutionized the money transfer system in Pakistan as it became very convenient to transfer cash in remote areas with a nominal transfer fee. Due to this service, Telenor earned more revenue than it usually earns from calls and sms.

Competition Commission of Pakistan CCPC gave go-ahead of investment and AliBaba made its first big move by purchasing 45% shares of EasyPaisa. We hope that this complete acquisition will bring significant changes and new features in this service as they brought in Daraz by launching Signature AliBaba biggest sale of the year 11.11 on 11^th November.
