Eutelsat almost triples its value on prospect of Ukraine replacing Starlink with OneWeb
-
They say they're a viable alternative to starlink and ready to start - not sure how much true is that
I read a musk fan saying "but their terminals aren't made in a NATO country" - isn't the same for starlink?

The Americans are definitely going to cut off StarLink, we don't have any option even if OneWeb isn't fully ready.

I haven't checked all of them, but I looked up the first three receivers listed by Eutelsat Oneweb for "land mobility" usage. One was made in the US and UK, one was South Korean, and the one intended for military usage is Spanish. I guess South Korea is not NATO, but that's about the NATO-est non-NATO country there is

Yeah, it’ll definitely be worse using a less complete constellation, but at least you can probably trust them to not fuck around and ruin military operations out of malicious political flailing, or whatever it is that Musk is doing constantly, so that’ll be a nice change of pace.

The US made one is the real issue.

or that you won't get baited&switched with the "we will give thousands of completely free* terminals"
*=each "free" terminal is subject to a $500/month usage fee
