Also of interest, the worlds most authoritative subject on Launch Loops is Keith Lofstrom [1]. He maintains a wiki on the subject with amazing information on the concept. [2]
He also maintains a wiki on one of his other projects, Server Sky, a push to get a cloud of micro-satellites in orbit for public access. A literal cloud of servers. [3]
What caught my eye is that Keith Lofstrom spoke at the International Space Development Conference (ISDC) this year and he has a ton of patents under his belt. He's not a kook and seems to really have done his homework on the subject. That makes me think that it's a plausible technology.
