Highly unlikely. Where I work we provide data and voice over satellite. It's actually the same basic system as satellite TV DVBS. The cost of BW over satellite is very high, especially compared to other systems where you can pump a ton of data over existing wires. I just don't see the cost ever catching up. The cost of putting satellites up in the sky and maintaining them is just too high.
