It looks like an idea I was pitching to telecom companies back in the mid nineties is starting to gain traction. High altitude blimps. They operate at altitudes above weather paterns (which makes it easy for long-duration station keeping). At 1/27 th of the distance of a LEO satellite, these systems can easily connect to low power hand held systems and provide extremely high resolution images without expensive equipment.
