here's why
I can guess why.
"Here's why"
Gestures broadly
Speculation of them getting the Ukraine contract according to the article
Key points:
And a lot of other places
Awesome news. I wish them the absolute best because nobody should have to rely on a fascist-owned network.
Certainly not an entire country's army actively defending against a hostile foreign invasion.
Man, I remember using Eutelsat to send and receive E-Mails in Afghanistan in the early 2000s. Of course back then we needed a giant receiver in the back yard of the compound. It was slow as hell, incredibly expensive, but the only reliable way of getting an internet connection after the end of the (first) Taliban regime. The world really has changed so much in the last twenty years, unfortunately more for worse than for better in my opinion.
congratulations i don't think a European stock has ever done this
Normally I associate such price swings with wild speculation and am genuinely surprised with this considering the generally more prevalent conservatism in European financial markets, but perhaps it's true that the (time of reading) 550% jump in value is all accurate pricing in of future contracts at this point.
I'm definitely excited to see.
it was like 1.20€ per share, so investors don't really had much to lose. that plays a big part IMO. if you're only losing a few bucks worst case, the risk isn't a problem.
Smartphone to sat direct link: it's there already
Elon's own goals started with a botched penis surgery and went downhill from there.
I see this radical development of the share as an expression of great hope that Eutelsat will be able to replace Starlink and, if possible, in the short term. I wonder whether this is technically possible, e.g. due to the production and launch volume of satellites or the available bandwidths. Do any of you have figures to compare both companies.
I think what has made starlink possible at all has been that musk also owns SpaceX so he can launch a shit ton of satellites. No other launch provider can match their cadence, so I'd guess that will be a limiting factor
Oneweb is medium altitude unlike starlink which is low altitude, so you don't need as many. It doesn't have as much capability but it's fine. But when starship is operational there will be plenty of capacity to launch a lot more sats and get more capacity.
They only need to cover the band that orbits over Ukraine for now tho, not the entire world right
I wish I was smart enough to invest in them before the rise.
It really doesn't take a genius to figure out why. And especially not on this sublemmy.
lol .... Turnip and his cronies are probably jumping on the bandwagon ... while also banking on the losses of Starlink
