I felt this was an interesting topic for discussion. It's a project by google for those of you who don't know:

I found it to be a really great idea although the flaw will always be not everyone can afford the technology.

What will this do to internet prices and speeds?
Do you think it will work?

I've heard of the idea, but it seems rather impracticle to have to launch(and keep launching replacements) for ballons that cover only a small area of land.

Bah, it doesn't matter. The link is called in protected mode, so the error won't propagate anyway.

I'm pretty amazed by the design of the Project Loon website. Very inspiring.

Indeed.

On a side note, why is your group title not CamelCase?

That would be great to get cheap internet access like that but we could never fully rely on such an unprotected system. Any fool with a laser pointer and a telescope could cause thousands of people to lose internet access.

Let's also not forget that looking at the sky doesn't count as wire-tapping. There are very, very, very, few things you could safely do over a balloon network.
