Facebook has abandoned plans to build its own massive, high-altitude drones that would beam broadband internet to all corners of the globe.

Facebook's plan was to use a drone called Aquila – a solar-powered aircraft with a wingspan of a Boeing 737 – to beam internet beam connections to the remote areas of the globe via high-frequency radio signals. The drone was part of the company's larger efforts to boost broadband coverage to remote areas without traditional infrastructure.
