A few years ago Google presented the project Loon, which aims to bring the Internet to different parts of the globe. Now it seems that one of the African countries has decided to join the project.
Google, a division of Alphabet Inc, has won a contract to provide high-speed Internet connectivity to rural Kenya. Google will use its balloons in Project Loon to provide high-speed Internet access in Kenya.
Second Joe Mucheru (Kenya's Minister of Information Technology and Communications), The Loon team is still working on the contracts and, if everything is ready, we will be able to see almost all parts of the country covered by the balloons of this project.
The deployment of high-speed Internet access in rural Kenya is also part of the East African country's government plan to address the needs of communities in rural areas. The large Kenyan cities of Nairobi and Mombasa are well connected with regard to Internet access, but it is the rural areas that have been left behind.
