The entire island nation of Sri Lanka is about to be blanketed with Internet service — all of it beamed from balloons – thanks to a contract with Google to create Internet connections in the sky.
Google’s Project Loon uses a network of 13 giant balloons, riding air currents, to deliver smartphone-based Internet service to the people below. Through this, all 21 million people living in Sri Lanka will be able to access the Internet through their smartphones or tablets, just as those devices would connect to a cell tower.
