- Lightspeed service remains on track for Q1 2028, preserving customer confidence.
- Farcast’s 2027 terminal production strengthens Telesat’s enterprise and defense sales pitch.
What critics are saying
- January 2026 creditor lawsuits attack Lightspeed transfers and threaten refinancing leverage.
- December 2026 Telesat Canada debt maturity pressures liquidity before Lightspeed revenue starts.
- Starlink, OneWeb, and Kuiper can outscale Lightspeed; launch slips kill the thesis.
What makes Telesat unique

- Its Mil-Ka Arctic niche targets defense customers, not consumer broadband price wars.
