Satellite Internet has always been plagued by high latency, in the order of hundreds of milliseconds, plus slow uplinks and generally high costs.
Unless of course I missed some new development, which I think is unlikely because it would have made big news everywhere.
Tons of Apple money can solve the cost and speed problems, probably something can also be done about latency by keeping everything in house therefore reducing the number of hops, but IMO it would still be too much say for online gaming, and barely usable for realtime VoIP.
