(btw this doesn't exist. Wanna build it?)

That will require some money tho. Idk which will be costly laying fiber cable in the sea or drone in the sky. Either way we need permission right?
If only we had a long range cheap connection devices, like fm or something and make internet out of it.
permission? for what?
To deploy drones in sky, airsapce violation, and even in space requires permit, they got some international agency to monitor that.
Need to research more tho.
SkyMesh subscribers can permit drones above their homes. with extremely long-range LoRa antennae and incredible line of sight (yer in the sky, bud) as long as you have a decent subscriber density in an area you wouldn't have a problem.
That is a nono. The old saying of whoever owns the land owns it up the heaven and down to the hell, is gone, we gave it up i suppose. Now there are countries who will give you air airspace control upto immediate enjoyment or effective enjoyment of the land. We can argue that drones and internet falls within this enjoyment criteria.
Permission is required either way in us uk too, move a bit higher, its airspace, property of the state.
If we are to operate in the lower zones above buildings etc, why go with drones? Just stick the antenna on top of a long stick aka a tower.
How far up from the building is the drone tho? 200 ft? Also see my edited comment above.
They get a discount if they commit to 6 months and let the drone drop a persistent solar antenna on their roof
you're hired as head of business development or whatever.
excellent idea
Would be so fun to make, I love mesh networks, drones, autonomy, solar power, ticks so many boxes. Maybe the tech will be ready in a decade. Seems like today you'd have too many airspace legality/battery problems. Though overnight-airborne solar plane drones have been achieved, so technically possible...
Reticulum + LoRA seems like the easiest networking starting point. Ah look, you've got me scheming
Yessssssss
