Interesting. How do they plan to reach terrestrial towers while they're over the Atlantic??? The article says that the initial planes will be "transcontinental" ones so.......
The pic also indicates that the box would be connected to a sat. dish...
Over the Atlantic would be trans-Atlantic or trans-oceanic. Transcontinental just means over the North American land mass - no oceans.

Cool stuff either way.

Latency should be pretty decent if it's going straight to land based towers, but if they jump to a sat. beam, that latency would instantly be much higher.
