When I first read about OneWeb (2 years ago?) I figured it would be vaporware. However, things keep looking more and more promising.

I think these guys are finally going to open the door to having real mobile internet anywhere in the world.

I believe SpaceX is also gunning for a similar satellite constellation for internet service[1]. The more serious players in this space, the better (no pun intended).
