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?
