Not only is Google going to great lengths to provide fast Internet, it's going to great heights as well.
This is not Google's only drone-based Internet delivery system currently in testing - there's also Project Loon , which seeks to provide Internet to the entire world by way of balloons.
The millimeter wave technology that forms the lynchpin of the whole endeavor is described as the "future of high-speed data transmission technology," and is thought to be the basis of a next-generation mobile network.
Google isn't the only company to be experimenting with this transmission technique - as The Verge reports, Chet Kanojia, the founder of Aereo,  has a new startup called Starry that also plans to use millimeter waves for gigabit Internet speeds to customers.
