OneWeb bankruptcy leaves plans for Arctic satellite broadband In limbo
The company declared bankruptcy last month after having launched 74 out of 648 planned satellites.
OneWeb, a global communications company with the goal of providing high-speed broadband internet to “everyone, everywhere,” announced plans to bring reliable, low-latency high speed internet service to the Arctic in September 2019. It had planned to provide 375Gbps of capacity above the 60th parallel North, increasing capacity more than 200-fold in the region.
