Google, under its 'Project Loon', is using big balloons floating at a height of 20 kilometers above earth surface for transmission of Internet services. It has already tested this technology in New Zealand, California (the US) and Brazil.
Google's 2-year-old program "Project Loon" aims to change that by transmitting high-speed Internet signals from clusters of balloons floating about 60,000 feet above the Earth.
