The future of the internet? Not sure about this concept, as our orbitals are already full of a lot of hardware. Plus, I am not certain how long the lifespan of a MicroSat is currently at. Four or five years tops, I believe. Does that mean that the company needs to keep replenishing them? And what about the constant outlay to keep launching replacements. Then there is the reported attempt to keep 2400 total new MicroSats (projected -could be more later on) and I think getting into space and back in one piece could become quite probematical.

I figured someone would do something like this soon. HughesNet operates in a geosync orbit, and that introduces lots of latency.

Might end up with very large numbers of people in “developed” countries subscribing as people in “undeveloped” countries for the low rates.

to Bring High-Speed Internet to Underserved Areas Around the WorldI read that quickly and saw 'undeserved'. Funny. Must be the capitalist in me.
