Facebook vs. Google: the battle of technology giants has moved to the sky

Internet.org is a Facebook initiative that will bring the Internet to developing countries and is about to blow the world apart. Facebook is also negotiating the acquisition of Titan Aerospace, the manufacturer of unmanned flying apparatuses, in order to start creating an army of drones for delivering low-cost Internet.

Connecting the rest of the world to the Internet is not only a good business for a giant from Silicon Valley, it also provides him with a “good” press. 55% of those who voted in 1World Online 1WorldVoters believe that Internet access is a basic human need, and a basic human right, along with other personal rights and freedoms of a person.

Facebook drones are not the only solution for Internet delivery, and Zuckerberg’s brainchild will need to act quickly to catch up with Google: Project Loon already has an advantage and is six months ahead of development.



When Google first announced its Internet delivery program using balloons, 57% of 1WorldVoters voted for Google’s balloons project to bring the available Internet to the world.

As Facebook and Google are preparing for a battle for supremacy in the sky, these mega-corporations are probably more worried about how the public perceives their brand.

Since Edward Snowden talked about total surveillance using existing information and communications networks, people are even more concerned about privacy: 77% of 1WorldVoters are worried that Google collects too much personal data.

Global interaction means, at the same time, global opportunities, both for individuals and enterprises. Whose projects do you think will be more successful: Facebook or Google?
