Google has said that its “Project Loon” technology has almost been perfected and is now starting talks with telecom operators in Africa.
Project Loon is an initiative that involves beaming down to the internet via giant floating balloons. It aims to provide internet access to less-developed areas with little or no internet infrastructure.
It has begun talks with African telecom operators and governments to work out the details of distribution, marketing and flight permissions.
Google has said that it wants to launch the initiative in Africa, Sri Lanka, India and rural parts of the US.Â
