I’m hoping for some low bit rate stuff. I suspect coordinating the uplink might be difficult to squeeze a lot of data through, but downlink could have a linear stream of repeating data (weather, news) that you could get an update on at any time by pointing your phone the right way, especially if you can draw an arc that follows the satellite going past by. And that wouldn’t chew battery power either. My bandwidth needs are extremely minimal outside of work/home, so with a tiny bit of bandwidth, some texting and news updates could make it possible to live a wireless-subscription free life.
