Intensifying Competitive Pressure From New EntrantsEntrants moving into adjacent spectrum neighborhoods present a material competitive threat that could erode pricing power and market share in core satellite connectivity markets.
Suspension Of Buybacks And Reduced Shareholder SupportSuspending the share buyback program removes a key mechanism for supporting the stock and may heighten investor concern about future capital returns.
