OneWeb's latest satellite launch gives it enough coverage to offer global broadband from space, putting it in direct competition with SpaceX's Starlink service.
U.K.-based OneWeb successfully deployed another 36 satellites at the weekend and a short while later confirmed they were operating as expected.
Related The deployment was significant as it gave OneWeb enough satellites to offer global broadband coverage, At the current time, OneWeb, which deployed its first satellites in 2019, offers only a very limited service in regions north of 50-degrees latitude. Commenting on Sunday’s milestone mission, Sunil Bharti Mittal, executive chairman of OneWeb, said: “In my work, I have seen the power of connectivity to bring benefits to all, wherever they are. Yet half the world’s population does not have access to fast, reliable connectivity. Today’s launch represents a major step towards closing the digital divide. OneWeb’s global constellation will play a pivotal role in realizing this dream.

Are Your Digital Platforms Wasting Your Customers’ Time?No one wants digital tools that waste their time. We all want digital experiences to offer time well spent. People engage when smart tools understand them, their situation, and the jobs they want done. But too many companies today are still building digital platforms that waste people’s time. So, what should companies be doing differently? Instead of “moments”, focus on “modes” — the mindset and set of behaviors that people get into temporarily to get a job done; for example, we can be in work mode one moment, and mommy/daddy mode the next. When digital tools can ascertain what mode a customer is in, the intelligence of the tools grows. When people use solutions that recognize their modes, they become more empowered, feel like the tool understands their situation, and feel like their time is well spent. Companies that understand digital context can vastly increase customer engagement. To do so, they need to understand four different types of experiences their tools can yield, ranging from not-smart (technology that just wastes your time) to genius (technology that ultimately feels like time well invested).
