   itwbennett writes Titan Aerospace, the drone-maker acquired last year
   by Google to help realize the company's ambitious plans to provide
   Internet access to remote areas via solar-powered drones, recently
   applied for and received two licenses from the U.S. Federal
   Communications Commission to run tests over the next six months. The
   licenses, which are valid from March 8 until September 5, don't give
   away much because Google has asked the FCC to keep many of the details
   confidential for commercial reasons, but they reveal the tests will
   take place inside a 1,345 square kilometer (520 square mile) area to
   the east of Albuquerque. The area includes the town of Moriarty, where
   Titan Aerospace is headquartered and conducts its research and
   development work.
