In local constellation it might, but supposedly technology does not currently actually exist to do it between constellations. I don't understand the topic at all, but I got impression that the precision of timing and accuracy of aiming needed is actually a very hard problem. But agreed, should sat2sat communication become possible, there are many legs where starlink latency will improve upon terrestrial. -- ++ytti
