Wouldn't it not need to? Presumably if there are 4000 satellites it wouldn't need to look from horizon to horizon, just approximately up.

It really depends on how they're designing the CPE and network architecture for handoffs from one satellite to another, since from the point of view of a CPE on the ground the satellites are constantly moving. That's kind of opaque right now until more technical details come out, and examples of what the end user terminal hardware might look like (FCC test lab reports, etc).
