Google is Getting into the Satellite Internet Game

To the tune of around $1 billion, Google plans to launch 180 small satellites with the intention of providing Internet to out of the way places. This, in conjunction with project Loon and a new Internet drone project, is Google's initiative to bring the web to hundreds of millions more people in the coming years.
