I can see that one of the google helium balloons is currently floating 60,000ft over Bukoba in NW Tanzania with no call sign. Have they deployed the free internet in East Africa?

Project Loon is a research and development project being developed by Google with the mission of providing Internet access to rural and remote areas. The project uses high-altitude balloons placed in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 20 mi (32 km) to create an aerial wireless network with up to 3G-like speeds

Usually it is a characteristic of governments to do research papers and let them gather dust. Not so private sector. Reason why countries whose private sector is bigger than gov. do well.
Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.
