I was pleased at Intel's mention of stratellites. Then I read their description more carefully: "Giant, ball-shaped airships called stratellites..." This brought to mind 21st Century Airships, which does indeed make ball-shaped airships which it referred to as "stratellites". [The old Sanswire and 21st Century once had a business connection.]
Upon checking the 21st Century Airships web site, I find that they no longer seem to refer to their airships as stratellites. A Google search of their site and "stratellite" got 5 hits, all of which were from old press coverage.
