        Fast satellite coming.

        They'll still have latency issues.

        Outside of live things, it's probably not a real problem. yeah, you don't want it if you are a gamer, and you might get some issue with video chat, but general surfing, using of the web, streaming media, should be totally usable.

        It's slow enough that web pages noticeably slow down. Things like voice are often impossible.

        The 3mp upload is optimistic at best. You need a small sat to transmit up through the ionsphere, and they are doing it with a lower powered dish. Similar problems to early wireless.

                        I hope they make a time lapse of the collected 2 mins from those 68 cameras.. that should be pretty cool to watch.

                          I expect that they will. That'll be really cool.

                                  Largest loss of life in a US Navy sinking in history. The ship talked about in Jaws finally found. Thanks to Paul Allen.
