Our recent report on Greg Wyler’s e-Space filing via the French spectrum regulator with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for 116,640 new C-band satellites contained an error. We said that the new French filing for frequencies meant that his previous application using Rwanda for 327,000 satellites had “evidently died”. We were wrong. The Rwandan filings, […]
Greg Wyler, a serial satellite entrepreneur, is using France to register with the International Telecommunications Union for 116,640 C-band satellites. His immediate previous project was backing 327,000 satellites using Rwanda as the registration authority. That Rwandan project has evidently died. At one stage, Wyler was involved with O3b (which is now owned by SES) and […]
