Just found this one today. Looks interesting. I've heard of stuff like this before, but hadn't seen anyone doing it. They want to use airships to provide a high-speed data "tower" that is about 21km high, giving a huge service-area footprint. They also want to use fuel-cells in the airships, so they're environmentally friendly. (I swear I'm not making this up. :-) ) http://www.skystation.com/ Looks like they plan to deploy in 2004, and have some pretty big names behind the venture, including Lockheed Martin Global Communications and DaimlerChrylser Aerospace. -- Pat
