Alphabet (READ: GOOGLE) is going to start beaming down high-speed LTE internet connections to Indonesia in 2016. That'll be a bigger part of the testing phase of Project Loon (internet balloons) which has already been tested in New Zealand, Australia, California and BRRRRazil (did anyone notice?)

Alphabet is teaming up with 3 Indonesian mobile network operators - Indosat, Telkomsel and XL Axiata - and hopes to reach hundreds of millions of Indonesians.
Indonesia has a population of ~250m living on ~17,000 islands. Ebin. Only 42m have internet access.

The balloons will fly at 60,000ft altitude.
Sergey Brin, director of Alphabet's X Lab for venture projects, hopes internet balloons will create millions of jobs.

Similar to Facebook beaming down internet from high altitude drones.
I wonder if they are racing.

Why are internet Jews so keen to beam internet into the third world?

So much conspiracy opportunities for tinfoil hatters worried about mind-controlling balloons and drones firing down their lasers at humanity which is going to unite together and break the conditioning.
