SoftBank and Bloom Energy are forming 50/50 Joint Venture to bring Bloom’s fuel cell technology to Japan.
Bloom Energy’s fuel cells are currently deployed in the United States by clients including AT&T, Google, eBay, The Coca Cola Company, Walmart and others.
In June 2013, Verizon announced plans to install Bloom Energy fuel cell systems at three of its California-based locations: two call-switching centers in Los Angeles and San Francisco and a data center in San Jose. The solid oxide fuel cells are expected to generate more than 16 million kilowatt hours of clean electricity for Verizon in California each year.
NTT America is also using Bloom Energy servers in California.

You just read about SoftBank. One of the companies whose work it now carries:

J-Phone built Japanese mobile operator known for camera phones and early 3G services under its own name. The brand was retired when it became SoftBank — but the operation continues as SoftBank today. The original name passes into the archive. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
