Can Low Earth Orbit Satellite Constellations Play a Role in Edge Computing?

It is not yet clear whether there are edge computing implications. What is clear that some amount of bandwidth will be available over the entire surface of the earth. Whether that is most beneficial for premises computing (onboard ships or on drilling platforms) or distributed computing is not yet clear. In principle, the low latency possible with low earth orbit satellites could make possible distributed computing facilities that approximate the sorts of edge computing 5G networks envision (within 10 km to 100 km).
