While in a difficult practical position, OneWeb previously got bailed out because of the military applications and the value of communication that's much harder to jam than traditional means.

Russia just launched Cold War v2.0 at best, if not WW3. OneWeb's value proposition just improved massively.

Ukraine had to publicly appeal to the only real competitor in the market to get Starlink. I think OneWeb is looking more valuable as a product range by the minute.

We don't know that for a fact.

I would argue the main reason was a British government was butt-hurt and wanted a 'win' in the sat space.
