Google whimsically named Project Loon aims to ensure that every person has Internet access.
The effort relies on balloons that float in the stratosphere. Google plans to lease the Project Loon platform to wireless carriers around the world. This allows Internet service providers to use wireless spectrum they currently own and connect it to the balloon network.
Google has recently developed an innovative system that makes it possible to pilot the balloons without an on board fuel source. This new development means that it could possibly provide Internet access to the every corner of the planet.
