摘要

Right now, several companies are working to launch massive satellite constellations into space to provide super-fast Internet virtually anywhere on Earth. Two of the leading firms advancing this plan, OneWeb of Great Britain and U.S.-based SpaceX, share the same goal - to bring broadband Internet to the billions of people who currently lack access. But it remains a question whether the path to the new era of space-based connectivity will be spurred by healthy commercial competition or regulatory turf wars over satellite spectrum. Over the past six months, Greg Wyler's OneWeb has acquired the support of satellite makers like Airbus, would-be launch providers like Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, as well as several major corporations and telecommunication providers. The startup, based in Britain's Channel Islands, plans to launch some 600-700 satellites by 2019. Elon Musk's SpaceX, meanwhile, has advantages of its own. As a highly efficient rocket manufacturer and the world's fastest-growing launch service provider, the California-based aerospace company has reason for optimism in its plan to launch 4,000 satellites within five years. SpaceX already has built complex satellites in-house. And in January, Google and Fidelity announced a $1 billion bet on the continued success of SpaceX.
