Report: Facebook Looking to Launch Its Own Drones

The social networking giant would use the drones to possibly deliver Internet to parts of the world that currently don't have access, according to the report, which pegs the purchase at $60 million. Reps from Titan and Facebook could not be reached for comment. The goal is in keeping with Internet.org, an initiative that hopes to bring Internet access to the two-thirds of the world that are now without it.
The report claims that Facebook is "in talks" with Titan. If the deal is completed, Titan would begin building 11,000 unmanned drones to deliver Internet access to Africa first. The drones are powered by a battery pack and draw new energy from the sun.
