That's not the only competition for Omnitracks. There's a Spanish company, Zunibal, that uses the Inmarsat to do the same thing. The potential has been around for quite a while. International sailing races have been followed for some time by requiring boats carry a beacon that could be tracked. Similarly some countries make such beacons a requirement of licenses to fish in their economic zones. I've no idea which satellites Omnitracks has been using, but I doubt they ever had any exclusive rights. It's perhaps a wonder as to why there hasn't been significant competition before.
