Facebook scraps plans to build Internet drones - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Facebook announced it would be scrapping plans to develop its own flying Internet drones, an initiative that started four years ago. In a Tuesday blog post, the social network said work on Project Aquila, which was intended to bring Internet access to remote parts of the world by using gigantic drones running on solar power, would come to an end."

Comment: The dream of one seamless global internet community powered by Facebook and flying drones has come to an end. The report does note that other companies continue to invest in bringing the internet to the far corners of the world that have yet to experience the joys of promoting themselves on social media.
