Google to Feds: Venture Loon is completely protected, regardless of outcry
Google asserted in a report filed to the Federal Communications Fee that the corporate’s upcoming excessive-altitude, wi-fi sign checks (possible a part of Google’s Undertaking Loon) pose no menace to the citizenry or the surroundings. The web big argued that experimental the exams, which can use radio transmitters at altitudes of seventy five,000 ft, fall inside present check laws.
The submitting is available in response to a variety of complaints from members of the general public who, being luddites, fearful about radiation publicity, microwave beams, and all types of different vaguely quasi-scientific worst case situations. “The proposed experimental operations in truth current vastly much less danger from RF publicity than different transmissions the Fee routinely authorizes,” Google countered in its submitting. “Thus, though we respect that the commenters’ considerations are genuinely held, there isn’t any factual foundation for them.”
