Inmarsat, a leading telecom giant, is launching a new satellite designed to provide wireless broadband connectivity across the globe. This initiative, known as BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network), aims to ensure that users can access the internet on their computers anywhere in the world within weeks. The satellite will cover 88% of the Earth’s landmass, making it a significant advancement in global communication. However, this is not Inmarsat's first attempt; a previous multi-billion dollar project led by Craig McCaw failed. What would you be willing to pay for this service if it succeeds?
