At 50K + feet, birds, commercial airliners, and clouds would be mostly a
non-issue. Maybe an occasional Google balloon, or U2.

Ah, I guess my subconscious desire added that. I have always thought
that lasers backed by RF would be the future of wireless. They'll
have to have RF also for when a bird flies through it.

I don’t see the “on the ground” part:
We've also made a breakthrough in laser communications technology.
We've successfully tested a new laser that can transmit data at 10
gigabits per second. That's ten times faster than any previous
system, and it can accurately connect with a point the size of a
dime from more than 10 miles away.

It talks about the lasers being able to align to a spot on the
ground "the size of a dime". That seems like drone to ground
lasers to me.

Lasers between drones, RF to ground.
Still probably more challenging in the real world than
Facebook is anticipating. But they also are probably not
designing for people who will complain to the FCC about not
getting 99.999% reliability.

The interesting part is the laser working at 10Gbps at 10 miles.
