Fascinating. #Zuckerberg has been very vocal about bringing internet to the world, so I was aware of their efforts, but I had no idea there was a literal race between #Facebook, #Google, and #Airbus to connect underdeveloped countries to the web. This will open countless doors for industry, innovation, education, and more.

But I'm not clear on whether these companies are pursuing this for altruistic reasons or just their bottom line. Do they hope to simply make more ad revenue or perhaps sell services to these regions (who have limited liquid cash to spend), or do they expect to make money on the drones/balloons themselves by selling the technology to those countries.

I'd love some elaboration on the "who will foot the bill" section.

Very thorough!

Good #oil chart. $XOI.

Yes, but does $ASTI have any contracts with these industries? Are they at least in negotations? Though being invited to the SOCOM TE17 event is certainly a promising start either way.

I think $BAC is the better bet.

This sums up everything you need to know: "So, when a biotech company offers a potential solution to help prevent the second-leading cause of death in the world--and then releases positive preliminary clinical trial results, investors listen."

I'm listening! Eager to learn more about #CVRmedical $CRRVF
