The corporation Google will send 300 helium balloons into the stratosphere to provide people living in remote areas with access to the Internet.

The company expects to create a balloon network to boost Internet access all over the world next year.

 

Google would like to bring Internet access to remote areas in Indonesia first. Only 42 million out of 250 million Indonesians can access the Internet in this country.

 

The balloons will be tested in Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Brazil later, the Russian BBC service reports.
