That's neat. I remember that being the original intent, but it wasn't quite working yet. I think there was a tech demo where they were talking about transatlantic FPS gaming, and how ground -> satellite -> straight line to satellite -> ground had less latency than the great circle path on the ocean floor? I never ran the numbers to see if that's true, but is that something customers have access to today? Or are they just using the intersatellite links to provide coverage to oceanic regions that are a couple of hops away from a ground station?
