TL;DR Summary

UK-based company OneWeb is set to launch the final 36 satellites in its space internet network this weekend, taking the in-orbit constellation to over 600. The system will be capable of delivering broadband internet to every corner of the Earth. OneWeb's clients are primarily telecoms companies that provide internet service, and the system will require ground infrastructure to command and control all the satellites and link them to the internet. The company was restored to operations thanks to a joint purchase from the UK government and the Indian conglomerate Bharti Global, who put in half a billion dollars each.
