The president of satellite communications business Viasat says UK should “lead the charge” on regulating the space sector, as it opened its international HQ in London.
Viasat’s new base at Finsbury Square near Moorgate opened yesterday, in a vote of confidence for London as a centre for cutting-edge industries. At the office, engineers will work on 10 satellites that provide communications for shipping, internet for remote regions that currently have no connectivity and on-board wifi for planes.
