Peru's internet infrastructure is highly susceptible to natural disasters and remains nonexistent in some parts of the country, such as in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. Through a public-private partnership between the government of Peru and Loon, an Alphabet Inc. subsidiary company that provides High-altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) in the form of balloons, previously unserved areas were provided with internet access and critical information was shared through restored connectivity in the wake of several large-scale natural disasters. This study will also explore how public-private partnerships can provide affordable commercial internet access around the world.
