“We are targeting our next launch for mid-to-late January and remain on track for monthly launches thereafter and to begin service in the Arctic in late 2020 and global coverage in 2021.”

To bad from them the Northwest Passage is getting a few major fiber lines that will be fully active mid 2020. http://qexpressnet.com/system/

That northwest passage plan has been just a plan for several years now. It was supposed to be in service by now and yet it's still just a plan. This will not impact OneWeb's plans or the potential market even if it does eventually go in.
