gollark: Apparently finance might be an application for it, since fibre optics are somewhat significantly slower than light, and the satellites' laser/microwave links wouldn't be, and the minor latency advantage would provide an edge in high frequency trading.

gollark: SpaceX is apparently going to provide its own hardware.
