Loon's Internet-Slinging Balloons Are Headed to Work Over Kenya

Now it has announced its first commercial agreement: working with Telkom Kenya to provide internet service to parts of central Kenya, starting next year, and helping connect the citizens of a country where coverage hardly extends beyond major population centers.
