BALLOONS!
Google is running a pilot test in New Zealand this month for a new method of spreading internet access using high altitude balloons. No, seriously: http://www.google.com/loon/
Apparently, two thirds of the world don't have access to the internet and they seem to think that this method will be a cheaper way to get more people able to access the internet if they so choose.

This one has more info and is more interesting, delving into the balloons and where they want them to be in the atmosphere:
