As one of their missions, Facebook wants to connect rural areas with the Internet using drones. The company uses balloons to life the drones up to 90,000 feet, which will fly up to three months and transmit information.
“'We want to actually speed up Internet adoption -- and in order to speed that up we need to work on the infrastructure challenges we’re working on today,' said Jay Parikh, Facebook’s vice president of engineering. 'Our mission in the company is to connect everybody in the world.'"
