[kictanet] Project Loon

[Amos Ochieng]

When a company is full of executives who only ask each other "But why not?"
these are the kind of proposals that come up:

Google is putting forth an audacious proposal to use baloons to cover the
world in Wi-Fi.
The balloons will be carried by wind at altitudes twice as high as planes
and beam Internet access to the ground at speeds similar to today’s 3G
networks or faster.

I know this project has been around for couple of months now but I had not
read this article<http://www.wired.com/business/2013/06/google_internet_balloons/>
.
This blew my mind, I had to share.
