Starts off:
..."When Boeing's pioneer airborne broadband effort, Connexion, crashed last year (TelecomWeb news break, Aug. 17, 2006), it was hardly the death knell for broadband in the sky. Indeed, it now looks more like a gold rush, with companies emerging from the woodwork looking to fill the hole left by that service.
The latest of those is a little-known outfit called Voyant that, it turns out, is sitting on what looks to be a good quarter-billion dollars or more worth of technology to do the job.
Wireless Business Forecast's sister e-letter Broadband Business Forecast sat down with Voyant Chief Marketing Officer Steffen Koehler to find out what the company has up its sleeve and why it thinks it has a shot where the mighty Boeing fell to Earth.
Before revealing what Koehler told BBF, here's why almost everybody in the industry never heard of Voyant: Up until April 27, the company was called Zeros & Ones Inc. Zeros became Voyant as part of a corporate "rebirth," Koehler says, that included a "new business plan (and) new management team... (and)...as part of the rebirth, I decided to rebrand the company."
The Business Plan
And a big part of that new business plan is to get into the airborne broadband business."... |
