Internet.org and Alphabet have both registered new drone designs with Facebook to create an unmanned aircraft that will be able to provide broadband Internet access from high above the Silicon Valley . If these go ahead, the drones should potentially be able to provide city-sized areas with high-speed Internet access, especially in underdeveloped parts of the world. Connecting more people to the Internet would benefit both companies, as it creates further advertising opportunities. This would not apply to drones flying far above other manned and unmanned aircraft. Facebook has been particularly keen to provide Internet access in developing countries as can be seen with their Facebook initiative.
