SpaceX has suggested around 20 ms latency with 4000 satellites offering near-gigabit speeds. Nothing but promises and a billion Google bucks right now, but I'm also hoping he succeeds. That'd be amazing.
The fun part of his is that its supposed to fund his Mars ventures and be SpaceX's experience for putting a similar network around Mars.
If it pans out, even in 2-3x his expected timeframe, I'll be the happiest geek alive.

It would be both incredibly cool and valuable to show up with all of the orbital infrastructure already in place (communications/positioning) waiting for us.
