There is another company whose name I can't recall, that is planning on using high altitude jets. They will be manned (I would hate to be those pilots - booooring), and basically be flying antennas. Has anybody heard of them?

These blimp guys are full of hot air. I ran into a band of travelling blimp guys ("hey we're sort of like investment bankers for global telecommunications, we're going to do data transmission using dirigibles, you know, blimps". . . ) on an intra-european flight. They were totally bush league. I cannot say for sure whether this is the same outfit, but if it is, G* has nothing to worry about. The guy couldn't even get his cell phone to work (and made a big loud, ugly American stink about it). . . Jets? Why not helicopters?? This is all getting a bit nutty. Cheers, Thomas
