What I meant to say is a lot of folks get connectivity through satellite. 500msec plus and jitter to spare.
Would having local CDN caches help satellite-based providers? Sure... -------------------------------------- Could you explain that? Do you mean logically near the ground stations? I had a funny thought... CDN in the satellite. :) scott

I mean physically in the ISP's backbone. They would use the satellite link for cache-fill, but then deliver content locally. This should speed things up a great deal. Having the cache on the other side of the satellite link doesn't help at all, since the biggest latency tax is on the satellite link itself.
