Cassidy said in the next phase of the trial they hope to get up to 300 balloons forming a ring on the 40th parallel south from New Zealand through Australia, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina.

Bloody Tasmanians are going to get it first, again!

Josh... it is actually real.  First live test site is in NZ.  I am sure the NZ guys on Ausnog know more.

This info is from June (Nathan is slow)... and it was covered quite extensively at the time in tech news.... there are some good videos as well.
