A graceful hand-off might only give you a brief moment of jitter.

My skepticism is directed at capacity.  I haven't seen how 12,000 satellites gives you 12,000X capacity like some people seem to assume.  Once you've used every channel in a certain area then you don't get more of them no matter how many more AP's you install.

Maybe the plan is after you Hughesnet's lunch you buy them out and use their channels too.  Repeat with Viasat etc.

"Initial results have been good," she said. These tests reveal "super-low latency," and download speeds greater than 100 megabits per second. This, she noted, would provide enough bandwidth to play the fastest online games and stream multiple HD movies at once.


I'm wondering what happens when it needs to swap to another dish, the tracking will need to change fast and that delay would probably kill any gamers in the heat of battle :)
