The Drone Company Pursued By Facebook Is Being Acquired By Facebook

Previously the news has been released that Facebook is on talk with the drone maker company Titan which makes high—flying robots which stay in the sky for almost five year or more on solar power with such innovative technology Google has acquired the Titan with not disclosed terms and conditions. This deal comes after FB discloses its purchase of Titan competitor Ascenta for spreading the Internet and making it affordable. The Titan and Ascenta both are specialized in the field high-fly drone making. These are the companies who will be circumnavigating the whole world in order to provide the technology which will be helpful to give cheap and reliable internet. According to news source Google will use titan to connect the remote areas with Project Loon, the balloon based remote internet delivery system.



TechCrunch Said “That’s not all the Titan drones can help Google with, however. The company’s robots also take high-quality images in real-time that could help with Maps initiatives, as well as contribute to things like “disaster relief” and addressing “deforestation,” a Google spokesperson tells WSJ. The main goal, however, is likely spreading the potential reach of Google and its network, which is Facebook’s aim, too. When you saturate your market and you’re among the world’s most wealthy companies, you don’t go into maintenance mode; you build new ones."



Whatever the companies thinking but the as a user I would probably thing is it s new ways to collect more personal data? Or with camera’s in those drones they could again spy on us but what every the thing is I happy that tech industry isn't sitting and watching but evolving big companies acquiring small ones like YahooAcquired Aviate and several acquisition have been gone so far with this project let’s see what it will bring out?
