In addition to nearing its Japanese launch, OneWeb is on the brink of merging with GEO operator Eutelsat. The merger cleared legal hurdles in early August, and the final shareholder vote on the merger is set to occur on 28th September. Eutelsat's CEO Eva Berneke and CFO Christophe Caudrelier will lead the combined operation, and OneWeb CEO Neil Masterson will remain involved to assist with the integration process until year-end.
