As a practical matter how does this help? You need to have base 
stations/dishes, right? Can they be beefy ones that can pump out 
gigabytes that would be capable of backfilling the load? Or would it 
need to be multiple in parallel? Wouldn't that bandwidth be constrained 
by the number of visible satellites in the constellation? I wonder if 
they've ever even tested it with feeding into an internet facing router. 
Could tables on the satellites explode?
