Google’s Project Loon will provide Sri Lanka with internet from balloons

Google choose Sri Lanka as one of the first countries to benefit from its balloon-based internet service Project Loon. This decision came into being due to Google’s several trails over the past two years. Google plans to make this service enlarged in Sri Lanka.

Sri Landa’s foreign minister and IT minister Mangala Samamraweera states that the entire Sri Landan island will use this service from village to Dondra to Point Pedro. With this internet service provided by Google, the whole island will be able to use high speed internet service. The entire island could benefit a lot from Google Loon’s balloon technology.

Sri Lanka is an ideal start for Project Loon as it takes up a relatively small area there. It is good for this service’s popularization.

The Island has about 20 million population there while there are just about 3-4 million people having access to the internet at the right moment. So this Project Loon will bring great benefit to this country.

Google company made investments and proposals on some other resources last June. It added LET capabilities to its latest floating hotspots to provide the local people a greater transmission range than their WiFi-based predecessors.
