The team behind Alphabet 's Project Alphabet , which uses high-altitude balloons to provide internet connectivity to remote areas of the planet, has stumbled on a way to reduce their deployment costs by 90% . How soon do you think we’ll see Project Loon used to provide internet access to consumers? During testing, the scientists discovered some balloons remained in thousands place, sometimes for as long as three months , allowing the team to develop an Alphabet to cluster the balloons in teams. The breakthrough could make Project Loom commercially viable, though the team says there is still much testing to be done.
