What are O3B ships?

It was designed for providing internet to third world countries. 

Cruise Lines latched onto it as an afterthought 

 

All the new ships have it plus Freedom and a few others. I think Royal gave up on converting rest of the fleet

I know there was some debate about it on another thread. When we were on Indy in January and had surf only, the Speedtest result listed it as O3b

Nope, the ping result is the giveaway that it was O3B (non O3B is above 600ms).
