Facebook has built its own drone that will bring internet connectivity to remote parts of the world. The drone - which has a wingspan of a Boeing 737 - will operate as high as 90,000 feet in the air, and can stay airborne for 90 days at a time. Facebook said the drones would be able to offer internet speeds of 10 gigabits a second. JP Mangalindan is technology reporter for the Mashable website.
