dinotori,
Good find for us to overview. However, I wonder if John Poe got it right when he said launch is next year. Maybe since the test is late summer he's got it right; if he was talking to Leigh one-on-one.

"Launch of the first of the full-fledged commercial versions, which will range in length from 450 to 800 feet and carry payloads ranging from 500 to 2,000 lbs., is scheduled for early next year."

And again, this comment in the article...
Christopher Baugh, president of satellite market research firm Northern Sky Research, notes that “satellite bandwidth is already in orbit. Putting something in the air is just one part of the equation.” Working out the business case for the use of the stratellites will be equally challenging, he claims. All in all, he says, “I think it’s pretty speculative and pretty far in the future."

Is he guessing like everyone else, and making this 'pretty far in the future' comment to protect his own niche?
