Okay you guys might recall, SpaceX is launching low-earth orbit satellites in order to provide Internet to everywhere on Earth

Originally, I thought that this type of satellite coverage was going to be slower than fiber, but actually no; this video shows how it can easily be faster, using ground relay stations; and the guy backed up that idea with data from SpaceX's last few FCC filings.

And he's mapped it out, and animated it, to show what they're going to do. In the end it will be faster than fiber even for overseas connections, especially if they can place a few ships in the oceans to act as ground-level waystations.

the video stays pretty understandable I think, and this is pretty goddamn amazing. And once it's up, if you can see the sky, you have an Internet connection.
