jacob ward joins us from san francisco. jay, good to see you. explain how this is going to work. >> reporter: the problem you have trying to provide wi-fi the way facebook wants to is that you can't just do it with towers. cell towers are too close to the ground. they get a lot of signal to a few people, but you need a higher source for the signal, and that in this case is going to be drones and satellite. that's what they're talking about. drones flies atalit flying at 6. and satellites high enough to beam to people below, but they need to boost that signal, so they're talking about connecting those via lasers. it's all in effort to bring internet to those who don't have it. >> there are plenty of areas in the country who could use this. facebook seems successful. why go off into this area? >> that's the thing. it does seem silly. it's not likes and pokes and shares, but on the other hand it is. on the one hand this could an good thing. studies have shown that economic advantagement, and changing one's social status has to do with whether or no
