Roaming base stations seems simpler than the intra constellation communication at least. It seems like it's largely a problem of doing the discovery on the fly where the multihop communication requires some pretty dynamic routing and complex laser pointing and decoding. I imagine they'll figure both out but the intra constellation communication will be limited to customers like ships where it's required or for people willing to pay for the speed since there's some speculation it could be useful for HFT in places that microwave antenna routes can't be laid easily.
