What this episode covers
These days, the satellite industry is hard-pressed to go a single week without fresh speculation on multibillion-dollar megamergers or new household names (ahem, Apple and T-Mobile) jumping into the fray. That’s why we’re thrilled to have locked down Caleb Henry as today’s Pathfinder guest. On Pathfinder 0016, Caleb joins Ryan to help us make sense of of all the madness in the satellite industry, from consolidation to new growth markets. The airing of Pathfinder 0016—on Day 2 of World Satellite Business Week—couldn’t have been more well-timed if we tried.
