Cheap broadband from Google

does this mean that the google country manager would change his focus from pissing every1 off to actually doing something that makes _much more sense_? hows the competition commissions thingie going?

Paul_S's comment re satellite latency is valid for geostationary satellites, like those that beam us DSTV. But the O3b plan is to use an array of satellites in low earth orbit, resulting in much shorter round trips, and latency that's comparable to submarine cable.

Low orbit satellites can be geostationary too.

if this is cheaper what we can get here i'll take it, i don't care if it's not legal. i'll buy it somewhere not around here and bring it back .
