21st Century Airships apparently has a contract to build replacements for cellphone towers for several US companies, in the form of balloons, permanently anchored up in the air. They're still working on developing 'High Altitude Platforms' which would be stationed even higher, in the stratosphere 18-21km above earth, to serve other telecommunications needs, and environmental monitoring.

Although, the football shape is more areodynamic than the ball, why than have the designs of 21st Century gone backwards. Backwards to the Mongolfier brothers of the late 1700? We at Windcrafter have gone forward with designs that use both hydrodynamics, areodynamics,& bio-mimetics.Flying like a fish swims, and a sail boat sails, only in the sky.How Cool is That
