Alphabet closes down internet balloon network project 'Loon'

  • Loon was deployed to provide internet in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria in 2017, as well as after a major earthquake in Peru.
  • Operations will be wound down in "the coming months", with the hope that Loon employees will be redeployed at Alphabet, the firm said.
