Battle Royale At Nashville: Google Vs. AT&T

Posted on October 2, 2016 by Benson Palmer

Nashville Tennessee could soon become a battleground, when tech-giants Google and AT&T face off each other in what many in the industry have termed to be a “battle royale�?!

The problems started when Google came up with its Google-Fiber installation for users in Nashville. This project ensures that the residents in the Tennessee city will get access to high-speed internet. This dream project, however, has stumbled into a few obstacles.

Broadband service provider AT&T have come up in arms against the move as it could lead to the removal of their equipment from the utility poles, currently in use by them. Google had demanded the removal, siting implementation issues. The problem then caught the attention of local Nashville residents, who had been frustrated by the slow internet speed provided by AT&T and Comcast. This led to the framing of a Metro Council ordinance called One Touch Make Ready. It could give Google the right to move AT&T’s equipment. AT&T have vehemently opposed this citing unemployment issues as well the disruption of service to its loyal customers.

However, recent snags in Google’s Fiber-network have led to Google rethinking its methods. While AT&T gears up to challenge the council, Google is now thinking of other methods like wireless communication to ensure high-speed internet access.

Drones Get Ready To Provide Internet Access

Posted on August 9, 2016 by Benson Palmer

Many places around the world do not have access to the Internet. Such places do not enjoy the same opportunities as that of internet-enabled areas. The infrastructure required to implement and maintain internet services may be beyond their reach.

Recently, Facebook made the headlines, when it announced its Drone Program to the world. The various utilities to which drones have been put to are numerous. But, imaginations have begun to run wild, when Facebook introduced its most ambitious project to date. Meet Aquila- A solar-powered drone weighing less than 1000 pounds, launched with the help of helium balloons. It will remain in the sky for 3 months without landing as it does not have any wheels. Aquila will use laser technology to beam data at the rate of 10s of gigabits per second to a base station on the ground, which will then be accessed by Internet Service Providers. These ISPs will then provide internet facilities to local users, who have till now have had no other means to access the internet.

The use of Aquila does cause a few raised eyebrows. One factor will be how it plans to land after its stipulated flying time without any sort of landing gear. Another is that users can expect slower internet speeds during cloudy and rainy days, as the Aquila is a solar powered drone.
