TL;DR
SES and Intelsat closed their deal on 2025, July 17 to create a combined fleet of roughly a hundred geostationary satellites and around thirty medium-Earth orbit satellites plus non-owned “strategic access” to LEO via partners.
Integration will bring customer-support confusion, billing glitches and product renames, even though remote coverage and pooled bandwidth could improve if SLAs and LEO access materialize.
Vigilance on contracts, invoices and performance guarantees will determine whether you actually benefit.
