Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) is playing a vital role in providing the internet facility in the developing and under developed countries. The aim of these two companies was cited by them at a mobile world conference which was the access of internet to these states. For this purpose sufficient projects were going on.
Internet.org by Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) had a degree to facilitate the world. Low bandwidth applications were made available in the mobile phones sold by the social media sites to get together with the service providers in each area. Mark Zuckerberg, being a major promoter of the plan aims to approach to regions with no internet access. This proposal will reach many developing countries including African states.
Senior Vice President (SVP) of Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Sundar Pichai, told about Project Loon started in 2013, in which installation of LTE antennas based on solar power in Helium balloons could take web to the air. Big costly towers to get wireless signals can be eliminated by spreading plenty of these balloons which would provide the network.
These balloons were inaugurated 3 years back and have enhanced to a great extent up till today. They function at 4Q and LTE bandwidth and live for approximately half a year, as compared to their beginning when they were given 3G signals and lived maximum for 7 days.
Sundar Pichai is of the few that this would supply internet to more than four billion spectators. Although it will cost a huge amount but that would still be less than the amount cost by satellites.
Chief Mike Cassidy is supervising the project Loon which is now being tested by Telefonica of South America and Vodafone by New Zealand. Assurance of steadiness of this huge balloon relies on the weather conditions. To make them stay steady in the air in all kinds of weather, engineers are finding out the ways and working on new methodologies for this purpose.
Mr. Pichai is also of the view that the accession of Titan Aerospace by Google 2014 is going to show itself and its value. Titan Aerospace developed a solar power technology for these balloons to stay for a longer period of time at high altitudes. Project Loon is working for the development of such system and is focusing on the design of aircrafts for heights. These aircrafts are expected to help in providing the internet facility to various regions that have gone through some destruction.
No plan comes without problems. As Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) are looking forward to accomplish these strategies, there are few companies standing in their competitions that might create several issues while having a substantial share in the market.
Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) are going to achieve their goal and will gain many following in the developing areas. Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) crossed its shares with 0.66% while Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) had closure at $79.6 a day before.
