Elon Musk’s satellites beam internet into Chilean boy’s life

After half an hour’s windswept journey on foot and by boat through a craggy forested estuary to the school he attends in remote southern Chile, Diego Guerrero can access the internet. His school is located in the hamlet of Sotomo, about 1,000km (620 miles) south of the capital Santiago in the region of Los Lagos and inhabited by just 20 families. A rain-drenched scattering of brightly painted wood and tin houses, Sotomo stands out against a mist-swathed row of rocky outcrops jutting out into the Pacific Ocean. It can be accessed only by boat.
