I think Wall Street guys are a bit behind the times on the numbers, but that is my own personal opinion, an opinion I have with some reason since I see what the satellite companies are doing. You and I think alike. Vendit

I see you also got the Bluetooth piece from Vendit, pretty interesting. I notice you are a satellite guy, and are making some good comments. I agree about GEO latency, but wouldn't LEO constellations have similar problems by the time they crosslink the data across different planes? Unless you are talking about a hybrid system, with lots of earth stations and the satellites just acting as very tall repeater antennas. And what do you see as the bandwidth limits for LEO satellites, given current or near-term technology?
