Internet-Connecting Drones (Facebook, Google)

Facebook Lays Out Its Roadmap for Creating Internet-Connected Drones | WIRED:

"Facebook formed its Connectivity Lab earlier this year. Dovetailing with CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s new venture, Internet.org, its goal is to build and launch a fleet of solar-powered drones that can connect the billions of people currently living off the grid to the internet.1 It arrived just a month before Google agreed to acquire Titan Aerospace, a startup that makes its own solar-powered drones"
