"Using drones would be a new method, but an efficient one. Titan's Web site does name "voice and data" communications as one of the applications of its technology, which could be used to deploy reliable Internet connections across portions of the world that aren't currently connected -- without having to dig to lay down wires and cables.
The Titan drones are capable of flying, taking off and landing themselves, and they communicate with a ground station from atmospheric orbit -- at 65,000 feet, far above the highest-flying jets. Some, the company says, can stay up in the atmosphere for up to five years without having to refuel or even land. And, according to Titan's Web site, a single deployment of drones can provide voice and data communications "beyond 100 nautical miles" -- roughly 115 miles."
