1. Story
2. The launch of the final batch of first-generation satellites gave OneWeb the coverage needed for global service, three years after the company had entered bankruptcy protection with the network unfinished. Later in the year it combined with the geostationary operator Eutelsat, producing a company operating in both orbital regimes — a structural bet that geostationary and low-Earth-orbit capacity are complementary products rather than substitutes.

32. Evidence
33. The satellite industry's revenue is reported in four segments — satellite services, ground equipment, satellite manufacturing and launch services — with services and ground equipment together forming the large majority and launch a low single-digit share. V55 verification basis: this session had no network egress and no remaining WebSearch budget, so the report was not retrieved; the segment structure is stated from author knowledge and every figure derived from it is given as a magnitude rather than a number.
