Dave,

For IP.

An update on Project Loon proving cell service in Puerto Rico.  According
to the article, seems to be working well.

From the article:

"Candido notes that the pace of partnerships made Project Loon's Puerto
Rico deployment so successful—the initiative delivered Internet to 100,000
Puerto Ricans by early November, and Candido says the number exceeds
200,000 now. Typical deployments require Project Loon to work out ground
network hardware with local governments, recruit existing carriers in the
area for service, and then acquire the rights to use the spectrum."
