Satellite Internet always had & will have Latency trouble, its a technical hitch & not worth for real time apps. However it is good for continuous down streaming. It is costly & meant for remote access say at offshore oil drilling rigs, scientific missions of anatartica, sahara desert, intercontinental ship travel etc.
Mobile satellite Wireless internet access (subscriber ends also inclusive) requires extensive regulatory & licensing conditions of every country (local laws as applicable) due to security concerns like espionage etc.
I do not see reason as to Why the hell any home user or corp user would like to have have satellite internet access wereas there are always alternate no fuss access methodolology available in the market.
However fixed satellite internet (thru DTH) or VSAT terminals may be possible with out much regulatory fuss but has the same latency trouble for real time apps.

Forgot to add that Satellite Internet Latency issues to some extent are adressed by using LEO satellites (Low Earth Orbiting Satellites at a distance of 160 - 2,000 km above earth Surface). Eg : Global Star, IRIDIUM Etc.
Old time GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) satellites placed at altitude of 35,786 Km (0 degree equator latitude) are no good for satellite internet apps.
Other traditional satellite internet access medium is VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal), in india we have companies like Hughes Communications India Ltd. (HCIL), Comsat MAX LTD etc, :irock:
