internet company Google

I think we know that by now..

 

Anyways, this is what i expected to happen with all of them, one random guy with a gun or airsoft rifle or whatever can just shoot it down. Nothing really you can do about it either, just doesn't work imo...

Googled to find Google when Google crashed in the farm. 

Too much Google for one man. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

Cables are expensive and sometimes impossible to plant, comm satelites are damn expensive...

They do not intend to fly them just above your house, but rather high altitude, where airsoft will not reach, and I am not sure if anyone looked happily if someone started to shoot to the sky randomly with live bullets ( I do not know US legislation regarding gun usage)
