Google’s affiliate company Loon and telecommunications firm Telkom have secured approvals to launch balloon-powered Internet on Telkom’s network next year.

Loon’s technology targets people living in rural areas without sufficient ground stations or fibre Internet connections. It works by beaming Internet connectivity from ground stations to overhead balloons.
