摘要

Making a big, risky investment inrnthese turbulent times might seem a bit daft. And investing in a satellite-broadband project sounds dafter still: billions were lost on similar projects during the 1990s. So why would investors in 03b Networks, a start-up based on the island of Jersey, put €500111 ($68om) into another such system-and one which depends on finding customers in the world's poorest regions?rnOne reason is that 03b has been able to learn from the mistakes made by previous projects, such as Globalstar, Iridium and Teledesic. Over-ambitious, both commercially and technically, they set out to provide global coverage. This meant relying on unproven and complex technology and launching dozens of satellites into low-earth orbit. Although the survivors, Globalstar and Iridium, have long since refocused, they set out to sell their services mainly to consumers and businesses in rich countries.rn03b, by contrast, intends to offer bandwidth on a wholesale basis to internet-service providers, and transmission services to telecom operators, to link remote base stations to their core networks.
