Project Loon is a new breakthrough that will be available in 1-2 years. It is coast effective and will bring billions of new users onto the internet. With the help of solar powered electronics, balloon-like aircraft, and helium, the manufacturers are able to create a high floating internet accessing machine. Project Loon floats at approximately 15 metres in length and 20 kilometers above the ground, just low enough to send telecommunications signals to a ground base. The producers, Google and Facebook, suggest these balloons will have a positive impact on the communities they're above. It will bring internet to areas that do not have the resources to build cell phone towers. Google's goals are to bring economic and social benefits to the poorest 60% of the world. Loons are already floating in areas such as Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand, You can see the article here.
