Google Interested in Wireless Bandwidth Balloons

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the or-just-want-to-suck-on-helium dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google is reportedly looking into investing in or buying a company called Space Data, which provides wireless voice and data services to remote areas with a fleet of weather balloons fitted with transceivers." My mind is sorta tripping over how something like this could work, but I gotta admit that the idea is really cool.

    thanks for your 0.02. we never bothered to consider any of your concerns and after some rethinking we see your point. what a bunch of idiots we are. you'd think after we had built one of the best planned and best executed models in business today that we would consider these simpleton concepts.

    thanks again. we must be a bunch of dumb asses. how could we possibly not consider the same aspects of this problem that you pointed out to us?

    your friends,

    the google people

    btw: stfu. you're a moron.
