That would be nice if it was possible. But drones are invisible and silent at operating altitudes.

Will these be helicopters or some kind of dirigible?

I’d love to get good wifi in NM. I go there fairly often (not for business, but just because I like it) and anything that can do that has my vote!

Several years ago, somebody floated the idea of using balloons to do this in North Dakota.

As if it wasn’t enough for commercial and private pilots to have to avoid jet fighters, weather ballons, c-130’s hugging the tree lines, hot air ballons, squads of black helicopters, alien space craft, and now they want to add Google drones??? New Mexico airspace is getting a wee bit crowded these days.

Well, my Windstream connection is presently running at .60 mbps, and that is up from .06 mbps earlier today. It is supposed to be around 4 mbps, and occasionally reaches 3.1 mbps, but usually is under 2 mbps. If Google can beat this crap, I’m game.

I wish them success, but these drones don’t carry much payload. Their current models carry 70 to 250 pounds.
