Sorry Inmarsat ….

I'm going to be very clear and it's possible you've not heard this before. As a legacy Viasat employee I can say without hesitation that Viasat fu---d Inmarsat. I agree with people’s perspectives of how it must feel to work with an out of touch and... — read more

RIF or no RIF?

Guru calls a short notice exec meeting this week. It seems clear the “voluntary redundancy program” failed to meet its goals just as we heard P&C claim there is no planning for a Company wide RIF (although P&C also said each Exec is tasked to... — read more

RIFesque? Guru short notice exec meeting this week

Anyone hearing anything about the exec meeting called at short notice this week? We saw that our UK exec buds had to ship over the pond, at the double. Some say the voluntary redundancy prog has come up well short and despite assurances “no... — read more

Air France next to choose Starlink

https://onemileatatime.com/news/air-france-free-starlink-wi-fi/ This may again be shrugged off, but Air France is now the 2nd Viasat aviation customer to signal a full fleet move to Starlink. Let’s see if this gets minimised as inconsequential. How... — read more

Where are the leadership and executives?

Probably chilling in UK on a corporate travel. The Lesser Spotted Guru was indeed in the UK. Spotted in the restaurant at 50FS. Yes Guru and Marky were busy in Europe. Flew on Air Chance and oops oh dear the inflight wifi (from Viasat) was terrible... — read more

Yawn

It's easy to find the Guru fluffers because if they have to resort to talking about there's room for competition after losing a top account then you know they're full of it. United is in the top three in airline revenue size United is in the... — read more

Much ado about nothing.

Points being: Viasat said it does not expect any material changes to its financial outlook based on United’s Starlink announcement. This really is inconsequential. One percent means nothing. Assuming each United aircraft currently connected... — read more

Life goes on

The year is 2035 pt. 2

The year is 2035

Regardless of how the value was divided between cash and stock, the deal for the Inmarsat shareholders was for approximately $7billion. It's not enough to say "they got $430million cash plus stock sale" when in fact that represents a significant... — read more

Viasat’s Twitter asking an interesting question

Is Viasat (NASDAQ:VSAT) Using Debt In A Risky Way?
