Will it be just as out-of-date as the rest of the snap packages?

It should be kept up-to-date because it was made by Mozilla.

Only around 25ms. The orbit these are supposed to be at is much closer to the earth then traditional satellites and there will be a significant quantity more of them .

The current satellites are in geostationary orbit, which puts them at a higher orbit. These satellites will be at a lower orbit and will work as a mesh network with each other, but they will not be in geostationary orbit. Therefore, you will be changing POP ever so often. Less latency.

I've been calling this but thought it would be 5 years out. I was wrong. This will put WISPs out of business easily as they can't compete with those price points.

@scottalanmiller Do you have a link to that particular page?

No it specifically doesn’t. Low orbit.
