I though as we have been talking about share price prediction wild ones from $1 to $30 we might talk more about the risks of SAS.
I think we have 3 major risks.
1.) Funding risks, SAS have to somehow raise the millions to fund the 200 satellites and if we get another 2008 style credit crunch or worse, SAS might not get the funding, even in ok conditions, bankers and institutions might not think sas will make it and so might not want to fund it, or might as for bad terms for sas like very high % rates or quick payback etc...
2.) The other risk is technical risk, the satellites might not work as sas intended, and engineered and it might take months or yrs to fix any glitches that might happen, also people say theres a lot of space junk out there so there is a chance some of the 200 satellites might get damaged by space junk and need to be constantly replaced.
3.) The other risk, others have already said WONT happen, but it always could, is COMPETITION, yes SAS has a first mover advantage in nano satellites, but the other big telcos and technology companies are not asleep either, they could easily duplicate sas technology and to avoid trademark infringement, they could simply change it a little bit and say, hey this is new technology and its ours, even if that dosent happen, eventually other co.'s will start building their own nano satellites maybe even cheaper than sas can and so, we have competition, there is competition in every industry, this nano satellites wont be any different.
anything ive missed as a potential risk?
no im not down ramping, I just want to discuss what could potentially go wrong before we pour our hard earnt $$ into this things.
