A Social Giant Planning to provide internet in underserved part in the world. Facebook now thinking something amazing which has not thought before. A Social giant working on a project which will provide Internet facilities Using Drones "remote plans' in parts of the world where still there is no internet connectivity.
Facebook is going a step further from Google by providing Internet using "Drone Planes" as Google already announced project "Loon" which will provide internet using air balloons.
The social network is in talks to buy Titan Aerospace, a company developing solar-powered, unmaneed aircraft that can be used to build a data services network in air,according to a report in TechCrunch, which cited an unnamed source. it put the value of the deal at US$60 million which is less than a deal facebook made to buy whtsapp.
Titan is not The only company working on this kind of Project. Earlier The U.S Defense Advance Research Projects Agency has been Working on the Similar kind of project for years. If Titan Aircraft can provide this services then it would be very helpful in Some Countries like Africa where Cellphone is becoming very popular source of internet access and Wireline infrastructure is very difficult.
The efforts will be handled under Facebook's Internet.org project to provide internet services in Growing countries. But Still the big question is whether such Connections can be maintained at affordable rates and are they safe enough from Hackers ???...we will get to know in near future.
