Question

which statement best explains the relationship between satellite technology and the internet?
all nations worldwide are connected to the global network because of the satellites in space.
satellite technology has significantly increased the number of internet users in the united states.
satellite technology made using the internet faster and cheaper, so people began using it in their homes.
people in less - developed nations use satellites to access the internet, greatly increasing the number of internet users.

Explanation:

Satellite technology helps people in less - developed nations access the Internet. This expands the reach of the Internet to more people globally, thus increasing the number of Internet users. Not all nations are connected only because of satellites (there are other infrastructure like cables in some areas). Satellite technology's impact on US users is not as broad as its impact on global, especially less - developed nation users. And it's not the main reason for home Internet use (cable and DSL were also significant for home use in many places before satellite - based home Internet became more common in some remote areas).

Answer:

People in less - developed nations use satellites to access the Internet, greatly increasing the number of Internet users.
