This is if you fashionable mobile application, then you will appreciate to 17 billion , and if it is a company with high-quality satellite imagery technology and own satellite constellation - you can not expect that you will provide for more than 500 million dollars. That's how much Google has laid out yesterday for the company Skybox Imaging.
Right now, this purchase will allow Google to significantly improve the resolution of satellite images on their maps, but the real goal is much more LP. As an extension to its audience the major players of the Internet market has long been eyeing the developing countries and those areas of the world where there are problems with the network connection. Therefore, Facebook, and Google have already announced their initiative to develop a "cheap internet" for everyone.
Purchase Skybox Imaging essentially means that Google gets its own constellation of satellites that can be used for data transfer. The deal has already received approval from the U.S. government, and the entire amount is paid "live" money.
By the way, what it is: know that Google now looks at you over the top? ;-)
