The aerospace industry has been trying to do this for the past 25 years (Orbcomm, Iridium, etc). With the advent of inexpensive small satellites it's getting more possible. I don't understand their business model however, because fiber land line connections are way less expensive and way more reliable.

Many cities in developed nations already have gigabit fiber and the number is growing rapidly. Perhaps what they are banking on is bringing high speed internet to third world countries but land line connectivity is growing rapidly there as well. Most of even the poorest third world countries now have cellular service as well.
