Google is working on a project that will have balloons beaming wireless internet from the sky.
According to BBC News, Google's Project Loon aims to bring internet access to remote communities with connectivity speeds at 4G levels.
Once in the sky, the large high-pressure balloons- equipped with solar powered computer equipment- will link up to antenna towers on the ground to provide service.
Currently, mobile phone providers from Indonesia and Sri Lanka have expressed enthusiasm in teaming up with Google.
They're also working on a similar Internet access project called Project:Titan, but with solar-powered drones.

A report from the World Health Organization was released yesterday revealing that processed meats and red meat are potential causes of cancer.
According to the BBC, eating 50 grams of processed meat a day, a little less than two slices of bacon, increases the chances of developing colorectal cancer by 18 per cent.
However, the World Health Organization also mentioned that meat does have some health benefits, and suggested that the report should give people a reason to cut down on eating meat as opposed to going cold turkey.
