Re: High flying blimps may be alternative to Direc
said by TKJunkMail  :High flying blimps may be alternative to DirecTV's internet product. The US military uses balloons/blimps in Iraq and Afghanistan for communications and surveillance. And they use them here to (ineffectually) propagandise Cuba as well
Problem with such technology though is it can only work in perfect weather... how many places is that true??? And even here where much of the year it is, though often to windy when clear... I doubt they are up more than about 50% of the time and mostly daylight hours where they can observe them and low flying planes can see them.
