I question how low latency these links will be, given the sheer number of hops (and thus queues and transceiver modulations) required to span the globe. And, of course, every round trip requires four trips through the atmosphere. Then you have the Manhattan distance of the hops. Maybe dedicated QoS flows along orbital planes stand a chance, not so general Internet traffic. (downvotes don’t change facts, kiddos)
