Miller highlighted that with their substantial profits, certain tech giants have the capacity to support emergency services, reinforcing the idea that such vital communications should remain cost-free for users, stating emphatically: “No one wants to pay for SOS alerts.”

Miller stressed that his company is dedicated to offering a "more robust, more expansive service" that aims to connect individuals globally. With several contracts already underway, Lynk Global's satellite-to-phone system is making headway, with four commercial contracts already signed.

OneWeb's Vice President for APAC, David Thorn, expressed a more inclusive view during the session. He advocated for a diversified satellite sector, where different providers complement each other's strengths.

Thorn emphasized the importance of a robust business strategy and a clear understanding of the competition. With innovative real-time solutions like on-site mineral analysis for mining, OneWeb's low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites offer high throughput and low latency, potential game-changers for various industries.

He also touched upon the digital divide, noting the 8 percent of Australians without reliable internet, and how satellite services can enhance innovation, education, and healthcare in such regions.
