How come it was suggested by nasa guys?
Maybe not for 2018, at least not a Mars adapted verson.

Emphasis mine to point out that you're basically agreeing with my comment that their Internet satellites would not be suitable for Martian use i.e. probably too small, not tough enough (not rad-hardened enough), lack of Mars-Earth comms, etc.But they may design a basic satellite bus so that it can be upgraded for Mars. I'll let the industry specialists let us know if that's possible.
