The biggest question about satellite broadband has always been the issue of latency.
I was at SuperComm and tested a system that actually had incredible quality. This offering, if similar has the potential to then be disruptive to the current sat-phone market. Heck, it would cripple it for the most part as you could put a base station in a car, some WiFi handsets and have your phone where ever you have satellite connections. At the speeds they are touting satellite audio is also a no brainer.
Let’s see if it works.
