Will start Google Loon project in Sri Lanka ? Google loon is to provide free internet access in collaboration with telecom operators in a particular country or region.
Aim is to provide internet connectivity for all.
So that is where Project Loon comes in. It gives a means for service providers to share the Loon Balloons (aka ‘floating cell towers’) offered by Google thereby reducing transmission costs and as a result reduce costs in internet plans to the end user.
Today (28th July 2015), Project Loon was officially launched with signing by government of Sri Lanka and Google.
Myth – This does not mean that Google will take over telecom companies and the telecom companies will go bust (at least not in the near future). It just means that Google AND the telecom providers will work TOGETHER to bring about a solution. So next time you go say ‘ha ha to Dialog or Mobitel’, remember that its them laughing at you.
