Facebook on Tuesday said it will stop building pilot-less planes designed to beam down internet from the sky.
It was one of a few web companies that set out a few years ago to bring connectivity to areas where it was lacking. That approach could have the effect of bringing on more users and driving revenue growth. Google parent Alphabet has rolled back its Titan internet drone program, although it still has Project Loon, which relies on large balloons.
