Is it a bird? Is it a PLANE?! NO, it's Project Loon!!!' That's what those living in the back behind of nowhere will be exclaiming now that Google have launched a novel new way of delivering high speed internet to those in remote places. Phileas Fogg would indeed be proud.  

According to DW.net, this isn't a pie in the sky (apologies) idea - Project Loon is about to launch (and, yes, they've called it Project Loon). According to the site: "Google has announced that their internet-beaming balloons are ready to take off. The balloons will begin hovering in the stratosphere above Indonesia, delivering an internet connection to remote areas." But what about parts of Kerry?!

The report adds: "The program aims to deliver online access in regions where most people live offline by transmitting high-speed Internet signals from clusters of balloons floating about 60,000 feet (18,000 meters) above the Earth. About 250 million people live in Indonesia which is composed of about 17,000 Islands. According to the CIA's estimates, only 42 million have Internet access."

And those without have probably been blissfully unaware of all the noise. Some of them might have even been spared the world wide wrath of the Kardashians - until now. 

While Google (no one's started calling them 'Alphabet' yet) are testing in Indonesia, they're planning to launch more balloons: "Project Loon eventually hopes to send its balloons to other unconnected regions in the world, ranging from small villages in Africa to the woods of California."

WHAT ABOUT THE BLACK SPOTS IN LIMERICK?!
