2015. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, it has become one of the leading satellite internet providers globally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company had over a million active subscribers by December 2022, with Australia having around 95,000 customers by February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\"

project as a wholesale <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fiber_to_the_x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">FTTN<\/a> (fiber-to-the-node) service to reach about 98% of
