Re: Leo & Meo sats are the solution Yeah, I've been seeing various low orbit satellite and latency improvement projects for a decade. I'll have to believe it when I see it....What was that low orbit Bill Gates wonder satellite solution? Does anybody remember that? |

The name of the LEO project that Craig McCaw & Bill Gates worked on was "Teledesic" (started in the early 90's). I was hoping that that one would fly (pun intended). Now, Craig McCaw is one of the principles behind "Clear / Clearwire". |
