Will it be just as out-of-date as the rest of the snap packages?

It should be kept up-to-date because it was made by Mozilla.

Only around 25ms. The orbit these are supposed to be at is much closer to the earth then traditional satellites and there will be a significant quantity more of them .

The current satellites are in geostationary orbit, which puts them at a higher orbit. These satellites will be at a lower orbit and will work as a mesh network with each other, but they will not be in geostationary orbit. Therefore, you will be changing POP ever so often. Less latency.
I've been calling this but thought it would be 5 years out. I was wrong. This will put WISPs out of business easily as they can't compete with those price points.
@scottalanmiller Do you have a link to that particular page?

No it specifically doesn’t. Low orbit.

Less latency is strictly a matter of the altitude of the orbit.
WTF are you trying to imply with this changing POP statement? Because you will be tracking to a new satellite every minute or so. the entire thing is designed as a huge mesh network. The biggest challenge will be the seamless switching between satellites.

Very low orbit more precisely. If my memory serves correctly 1100km to 1500km for the initial 800 satellite network. While the two test satellites are even lower at 500km.

Agree

Again, I agree. That is what I meant about changing POP. You're going from one satellite to another every so often.

No, I got that from a third party.

Each won't cover very much ground, but if there is a little bit of overlap between a couple of satellites, the switching between satellites should almost be seamless.
