Meh

"For starters, OneWeb's satellites are designed for internet connectivity, rather than the sat-nav function the UK government might need them to perform to make up its departure from the Galileo programme which it left on exiting the EU."

Might need why? Galileo was a pointless willy waving in an effort to feel important in the world, I do wonder if this is a wise move to provide the internet connectivity governments have talked about for some time. or maybe they have other ideas. Another positioning system doesnt seem worth it and we will have access to Galileo anyway unless the EU go full iron curtain
