- larrypress 10y agoActually, they are planning on a low-Earth orbit at around 1100 km, which will require a constellation of satellites to maintain ubiquitous coverage. That will cut latency -- particularly on long routes since it will cut the number hops between hosts, see: http://cis471.blogspot.com/2014/11/elon-musk-and-greg-wylers-plan-for.html http://cis471.blogspot.com/2014/11/elon-musk-and-greg-wylers...
