I'm curious then what the physical ceiling is to this global floor, in terms of latency and bandwidth.



If cost is of no concern you could build a network of satellites with similar performance to what is available on the ground, the cost will be eye watering however and a waste compared to building it on Earth. The “floor” I reference is in terms of the crossover point in cost versus the alternative. I don’t know where that precisely will be given it depends on the internal proprietary costs of the businesses in question.
