Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • The substantial funding from both federal and provincial governments ensures robust financial support for Telesat's ambitious projects.
  • The Lightspeed LEO constellation could revolutionize global internet connectivity, offering significant growth potential.
  • Public company status may attract additional investment and enhance corporate governance.

What critics are saying

  • Heavy reliance on government funding could pose risks if political priorities shift or economic conditions change.
  • The competitive landscape, particularly with established players like Starlink, could impact market share and profitability.

What makes Telesat unique

  • Telesat's significant government backing, including a $2.14 billion loan and $1.44 billion investment, provides a financial stability that many competitors lack.
  • The Lightspeed LEO constellation project positions Telesat as a direct competitor to major players like Starlink, but with substantial public sector support.
  • Becoming a public company marks a strategic milestone, potentially increasing transparency and attracting more investors.
