Alphabet shuts down Loon internet balloon company

Google’s parent firm, Alphabet, is done exploring the idea of using a fleet of balloons to beam high-speed internet in remote parts of the world. The firm said on Thursday evening that it was winding down Loon, a nine-year-old project and a two-and-a-half-year-old spin-off firm, after failing to find a sustainable business model and partners for one of its most prominent moonshot projects. The demise of Loon, which assumed the spotlight after the project helped restore cell services knocked out by a hurricane in Puerto Rico, comes a year after the Android-maker ended Google Station, its other major connectivity effort to bring internet to the next billion users.

Alphabet shuts down ambitious internet balloon project Loon

61 shares Project Loon was developed in Google s secretive X Lab by the same team behind Google Glasses and the driverless car. It had aimed to bring connectivity to areas of the world where building cell towers is too expensive or treacherous – such as parts of Africa, south-east Asia and the Amazon. Developing countries that couldn t cover the high cost of laying fibre cables to get online were hoped to benefit from the project, leading to a dramatic increase in internet access. Loon had said that once the project is up and running, the balloons could supply internet to an area of about 780 square miles – twice the size of New York City.
