Balloons for Cellular Service...

I'm not sure this is a good idea... This guy is talking about using ballons instead of towers for cellular repeaters. He wants to add a "toaster-size communications pod" to the balloon and launch it up to 20 miles above the earth.

$20 says this idea doesn't take... I'd be pretty pissed off if one of these things lands on my car while I'm driving.

My favorite part of this article... when he says, "But it works in the lab."
