Re: One wonders ...
Good article on these constellations over at IET

They claim latencies of around 30 ms versus 700 for geostationary satellites. Presumably that is just signal transit time.
Interestingly they suggest spacex will start launching in 2019 and the article was only published last month. Wonder if they've stepped up the pace to try and catch up with other proposed networks?
