Now that companies such as Google and Facebook have saturated the developed world with their services, the race is on to reach the world’s developing economies.
In particular, Google has a couple of initiatives to bring the internet to countries where the infrastructure doesn’t yet exist to support it.
Well at least, it used to have a couple, since the company has recently confirmed to 9to5Google that it’s killed off its solar-powered drone technology as a means of distributing the internet.
The cull happened shortly after Google (now Alphabet’s) reshuffle, which saw the Titan division absorbed into Alphabet’s experimental ‘X’ division.
