The CubeSat and StenSat programs support the development and deployment of picosatellites by educational, commercial and possibly individual interests. For a price of about $30,000, you design and develop your own (very small) satellite for launch into low earth orbit by One Stop Satellite Solutions from the Baikonur cosmodrome.

Picosatellites weigh about 1Kg, and thus, have limited functionality. But imagine having your own satellite network…!
