[AusNOG] Google Loon Balloon Broadband

[Bevan Slattery]

I've heard it described in some circles at SkyView or YouView.

The camera hardware going in these things is apparently quite remarkable, when combined with their goelocation technology and store and forward capability it will create significant issues for both privacy groups and Government.

Best for G to be up front now about its capabilities and intentions to avoid another StreetView debacle.
