A deal between SES and Intelsat would enable the two companies to better compete with Starlink, the satellite-internet service operated by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, added the WSJ story. Satellite operators that have looked for mergers recently include Viasat’s (VSAT) 2021 overtures to acquire privately-owned Inmarsat, WSJ noted.
