RoofJunk - A 1st World Problem to Help the 3rd

Aim: To remove the now unused roof-junk (TV aerials, satellite dishes) from houses in the developed world & send to the developed world.

After about 30 years in the corporate world I decided that I now want to do something altruistic that will benefit the less fortunate in this world. I thought for a long time, then one day, looked out of my bedroom window & the idea was right int front of me. Why is there still a TV aerial on every roof when no-one uses them any more? We all now access TV via wi-fi in the developed world.  They are unsightly & serve only for birds to rest on these days. So I thought there must be a way to solve this problem for us in the developed world & help those in the developing world at the same time, where wi-fi access for TV is much less. After all "one man's trash is another man's treasure". So, my idea is to create a website & app that connects & facilitates this for both sides. I can't give away too much here as I do need to protect it somewhat but it will involve some very clever technology. Working TV aerials & satellite dishes will be sent for free to the developed world & broken equipment will be recycled so it truly is a win-win-win process for all. Any donation no matter how small is greatly appreciated & a step closer towards a more beautiful environment in the developed world & greater access to TV coverage in the developed world. Many thanks in advance for your help with this & with all my best wishes to all. Jamie
