In the near future it could be possible to have a faster connection on a sparsely populated island in the middle of the ocean than being a hour drive away from a major city.

Definitely some interesting points. I had thought about that myself. My hope is that once the beta is done and they have all their satellites and data that they will give a guaranteed minimum speed and not oversell their service (ie Xplorenet) so they can deliver on that. They also won't 100% commit to no data caps after the beta phase which is a little troubling. So between beta and go live there could definitely be some changes in bandwidth and data limitations.
