The Wall Street Journal hears that the search firm is preparing to build 180 "small, high capacity" satellites (not pictured here) that will go into low orbit and provide internet connections to underserved areas. While details aren't forthcoming about the machines, there may be more on the way; reportedly, the company could "double" its vehicle count if all goes well. A spokeswoman didn't confirm or deny the efforts, but did note that having an internet link "significantly improves people's lives." less than 50% [ link to www.engadget.com] Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist.
I am open to any and all sides of a story but beware,I have a biased opinion from life experiences just like you. |

Those glasses are just stupid, but having a direct brain access to the net would be cool. |

Quoting: Julian Baker-Krofft Iam sure they said the same about Radio. But actually technology is rising exponentially. We will be able to repair the damage with nano bots in a few years time. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57981403 Like nuclear? No thanks. WiFi is microwave technology. This is not the correct path to take. It looks more like a weapons/surveillance grid and a new form of google controlled internet to me. There are better things to spend all that money on. Clearing the earth of nuclear waste would be a good start. |
