The company was founded by Greg Wyler in 2012^[1][2] and launched its first satellites in February 2019. It entered bankruptcy in March 2020 after failing to raise the required capital to complete the build and deployment of the remaining 90% of the network. The company emerged from the bankruptcy proceedings and reorganization in November 2020 with a new ownership group. As of 2021, Indian multinational company Bharti Global, France-based satellite service provider Eutelsatand the Government of the United Kingdom were the company’s largest shareholders, while Japan’s SoftBank retained an equity holding of 12%.^[5][12]

It would be of some concern that current controlling interest of OneWeb in concert with two or more owners would have a majority interest toward the direction of the relationship with Elon Musks ownership of Starlink.

Secondly with Russia’s attempted takeover of satellite deployment based on the Russian Ukraine war, Russia has severely isolated itself from Global access of OneWeb’s internet provider status and pushed this toward Starlink’s capable hands.

I believe not many would understand the evolution of the third dimensional warfare that is seen from a global perspective. Yet the competitiveness has moved to those reaches beyond the land based internet provider towers of connectivity of our internet. Drone connectivity has become an art of global positioning systems using land based coordinates.
