Infrastructure
gollark: Not really. Regular people can buy stocks. Probably only large companies are doing HFT, though.
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: Wokerer: modulate some kind of neutrino generation thing, and have a detector on the other end, so you can just send signals straight through the earth.
gollark: Really? That would be better, then.
gollark: I do wonder how well they're actually going to work in practice, though. I heard that each satellite could handle 6Gbps or so of traffic, and there are maybe 500 of them, which means if they roll it out to 100 000 people they'll get an amazing 4MB/s each.
