Latency is definately a problem (those satellites are a LONG way from
you), and remember that the satellite is one-way, ie., only your
downloads will be fast, the upload portion is still done via modem
over your telephone line. Unless, that is, you have a satellite
uplink, which I think would be out of the average millionaires price
range.
