There are no satellites that talk 5g in GEO

but now that SpaceX has launched their first 6 satellites that talk cellular, 
how many of them would be needed to give continuous coverage of the moon? They 
could be in a much higher orbit (as there are so few users), so they shouldn't 
need the hundreds that they needed to launch before getting global coverage of 
earth.
