Those are currently over the ocean but will eventually (after ~1.5h) orbit around to more useful areas. Satellites in low earth orbit need to move very quickly to stay up. If you want a satellite to stay over the same spot you'd need to put it way way above, in geostationary orbit[1], and get really bad latency.
