Re: What happened to high speed internet?
Satellite is not all that reliable for internet, especially streaming applications. I used to do tech support for a large consumer electronics corporation, and I would get calls from the military and military contractors that were having trouble with IP-based camera systems. One call was from a remote research post that had a dedicated satellite uplink. It was completely unable to handle a simple 500kbps video upload. The round trip for data takes about 4 seconds, simply because of the massive distances involved.
