“Sovereign” Means You Can Blame Someone Local
The way some people use the word “sovereign” lately, you’d think it comes with its own passport and boarding group.

That’s theater.
They “shared significant progress” at Eutelsat OneWeb’s White City office. Translation: they booked the nice room with the Nespresso machine and managed not to trigger any alarms. The buzzwords were passed around like hors d’oeuvres. Ground infrastructure? Upgraded. Coverage? Expanded. New user terminals? Of course. Capabilities? Just vaguely plural enough to imply something meaningful happened.
