        That looks like some really cool technology. I don't know if it will impact coffee shops as they are typically caught by limited WAN, but WiFi speeds will impact home users and business users a lot where there is high density and need for LAN access. At home I have like a dozen wireless devices all doing stuff at the same time causing contention. I have tons of data on my home network and four power users using it all of the time. With 50Mb/s coming down on the WAN and huge LAN sources too, I can easily saturate my wireless.

            I wonder if this could apply to the wifi offered on flights. Saturation is definitely an issue there as well.

              Those are really impacted by the satellite link.
