EU unconditionally clears SES's $3.1 billion bid for Intelsat

BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The European Commission said on Tuesday it had unconditionally approved the proposed acquisition of Intelsat by SES, confirming a story Reuters exclusively reported earlier this month.
The $3.1-billion bid made by the European satellite company for its rival will create a major European player to rival Elon Musk's Space X-owned Starlink.
"The Commission concluded that the transaction would not raise competition concerns in the European Economic Area," EU's executive arm said in a statement.
Together with other European satellite companies, Luxembourg-headquartered SES is looking for greater scale to compete more effectively with Starlink and Amazon's Project Kuiper.

How Executives Could Respond When Faced With Multiple Crisis Situations

A crisis can be challenging enough for companies and organizations to manage without having deal ... More with the additional burden of responding to other unfolding emergencies. A crisis can be challenging enough for executives to manage without having to deal with the additional burden of responding to other unfolding emergencies. One such scenario would be the need to respond to the impact of President Donald Tump's tariffs, a crippling cyberattack,and the damage inflicted by a nature-related disaster— at the same time. Knowing what to do and how to do it when multiple crises strike are now critical skills for business leaders. 'Cascading crises are becoming increasingly common. There are so many examples right now,' Cheryl Conner, a crisis communications expert and CEO of SnappConner PR, told me in an email interview. Elon Musk and his companies, for example, have been in the headlines because of the blowback against his role in reducing the federal budget and workforce, the vandalism of Tesla cars, boycotts against the car company, and the recent explosions of several SpaceX Starships. Navigating Four Different Crises Entrepreneurs, for whom managing risk is a necessary survival skill, often have their own stories to tell about surviving simultaneous crisis situations. Steve Taplin, CEO of Sonatafy Technology, told me in an email message that 'I've had front-row seats to more crises than I can count' at the software development firm. He noted that at one point he had to navigate four major crisis situations at the same time. They included a key client who suddenly terminated a longterm relationship with the company; another who suddenly eliminated its entire engineering team; and a third client who decided to move its business to ultra-low-cost offshore vendors. 'Meanwhile, I had to manage the rising urgency—and sometimes chaos—around AI transformation from both clients and competitors,' he recalled. Taplin said he managed to navigate the four crises by prioritizing them based on their impact on the firm's revenue, being honest in communications about the situations, and doubling down 'on what we did best [by introducing]Don't Forget The Human Factor Crisis management plans are critical when preparing for and managing corporate emergencies, but so is the human factor. 'You don't survive multiple crises by being the smartest in the room. You survive by being the most human, the most accountable, and the most ready,' Patrice Williams-Lindo, CEO of Career Nomad and a workforce futurist, observed in an email message to me. 'When you're hit with multiple crises at once, you don't just need a plan—you need nerve, narrative, and a leadership spine. And if you don't have all three, the public will find out fast. The problem with this is that then the temptation is to be more reactive than proactive which can be problematic in times of crisis,' she advised. For companies faced with the chaos of dealing with more than one crisis at a time, Williams-Linda said 'Don't wait for the headlines—be the headline. Get ahead of these conversations and take your employees along the journey with you. Don't delegate the voice of the brand in a storm. People want to hear from you, not just your legal team. In terms of crisis, people are looking for human connection and someone [who] can be accountable in a human way.' Do The Groundwork Now An effective strategy for companies when preparing to deal with the impact of simultaneous crisis situations is to adhere to best crisis management practices today. 'They communicate clearly when the stakes are low, follow through on promises, and build trust long before it's tested,' Kate Tillotson, founder and principal of The Beacon Group, told me in an email interview. This kind of fundamental groundwork can return big dividends when the chips are down for companies. 'When the unexpected happens—and it always does—these companies aren't starting from scratch. That reservoir of goodwill, built slowly over time, becomes a stabilizing force in moments of chaos. It doesn't eliminate the crisis, but it does earn leaders the benefit of the doubt, even when the answers aren't perfect,' she concluded. From cyberattacks and natural disasters to supply chains disruptions and trade wars, there are a growing number of crisis triggers that could create a perfect storm for companies. That's why the longer they wait to prepare for simultaneous multiple crisis situations—or fail to imagine what could go wrong—the worse things will be if they turn into nightmare realities.

Elon Musk pins his hopes on a fleet of robotaxis as Tesla sales tank

Elon Musk's long-touted vision of a widespread Tesla "robotaxi" fleet appears to be taking a tentative step towards reality, with a small-scale test run of self-driving cabs set to begin in Austin, Texas, this Sunday. This limited deployment comes after years of ambitious, yet unfulfilled, pledges from the billionaire entrepreneur. In 2019, Musk promised driverless Tesla robotaxis would be on the road "next year," a commitment he reiterated in 2020 for the following year. Despite these repeated missed deadlines, the promises continued, with Musk stating as recently as January last year, "Next year for sure, we'll have over a million robotaxis." The current Austin trial, involving a "small squad" of vehicles, stands in stark contrast to the millions he once envisioned. While this marks a tangible move, reaching a fleet of a million robotaxis is projected to take "a year or more." However, the service could see expansion later this year, contingent on the success of the initial Austin demonstration. The stakes couldn't be higher, nor the challenges. While Musk was making those 'next year' promises, rival Waymo was busy deploying driverless taxis in Los Angeles, San Diego, Austin and other cities by using a different technology that allowed it to get to market faster. It just completed its 10 millionth paid ride. Boycotts related to Musk's politics have tanked Tesla's sales. Rival electric vehicle makers with newly competitive models have stolen market share. And investors are on edge after a $150 billion stock wipeout when Musk picked a social media fight with a U.S. president overseeing federal car regulators who could make the robotaxi rollout much more difficult. The stock has recovered somewhat after Musk said he regretted some of his remarks. Tesla shareholders have stood by Musk over the years because he's defied the odds by building a successful standalone electric vehicle company — self-driving car promises aside — and making them a lot of money in the process. A decade ago, Tesla shares traded for around $18. The shares closed Friday at $322. Musk says the Austin test will begin modestly enough, with just 10 or 12 vehicles picking up passengers in a limited area. But then it will quickly ramp up and spread to other cities, eventually reaching hundreds of thousands if not a million vehicles next year. Some Musk watchers on Wall Street are skeptical. 'How quickly can he expand the fleet?' asks Garrett Nelson, an analyst at CFRA. 'We're talking maybe a dozen vehicles initially. It's very small." Morningstar's Seth Goldstein says Musk is being classic Musk: Promising too much, too quickly. 'When anyone in Austin can download the app and use a robotaxi, that will be a success, but I don't think that will happen until 2028," he says. 'Testing is going to take a while.' Musk's tendency to push up the stock high with a bit of hyperbole is well known among investors. In 2018, he told Tesla stockholders he had 'funding secured' to buy all their shares at a massive premium and take the company private. But he not only lacked a written commitment from financiers, according to federal stock regulators who fined him, he hadn't discussed the loan amount or other details with them. More recently, Musk told CNBC in May that Tesla was experiencing a 'major rebound' in demand. A week later an auto trade group in Europe announced sales had plunged by half. Musk has come under fire for allegedly exaggerating the ability of the system used for its cars to drive themselves, starting with the name. Full Self-Driving is a misnomer. The system still requires drivers to keep their eyes on the road because they may need to intervene and take control at any moment. Federal highway safety regulators opened an investigation into FSD last year after several accidents, and the Department of Justice has conducted its own probe, though the status of that is not known. Tesla has also faced lawsuits over the feature, some resulting in settlements, other dismissed. In one case, a judge ruled against the plaintiffs but only because they hadn't proved Musk 'knowingly' made false statements. Musk says the robotaxis will be running on an improved version of Full Self-Driving and the cabs will be safe. He also says the service will be able to expand rapidly around the country. His secret weapon: Millions of Tesla owners now on the roads. He says an over-the-air software update will soon allow them to turn their cars into driverless cabs and start a side business while stuck at the office for eight hours or on vacation for a week. 'Instead of having your car sit in the parking lot, your car could be earning money,' Musk said earlier this year, calling it an Airbnb model for cars. 'You will be able to add or subtract your car to the fleet.' Musk says Tesla also can move fast to deploy taxis now because of his decision to rely only on cameras for the cars to navigate, unlike Waymo, which has gone a more expensive route by supplementing its cameras with lasers and radar. 'Tesla will have, I don't know,' Musk mused in an conference call with investors, '99% market share or something ridiculous.' Given Waymo's head start and potential competition from Amazon and others, dominating the driverless market to that extent could be a reach. But Dan Ives, a Wedbush Securities analyst and big Musk fan, says this time Musk may actually pull it off because of Tesla's ability to scale up quickly. And even skeptics like Morningstar's Goldstein acknowledge that Musk occasionally does gets things right, and spectacularly so. He upended the car industry by getting people to buy expensive electric vehicles, brought his Starlink satellite internet service to rural areas and, more recently, performed a gee-whiz trick of landing an unmanned SpaceX rocket on a platform back on earth. 'Maybe his timelines aren't realistic," Goldstein says, 'but he can develop futuristic technology products.'

Carney travelling to Europe for security, defence talks with EU, NATO

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Mark Carney will depart for Europe on Sunday for back-to-back summits where he is expected to make major commitments for Canada on security and defence. Carney will be joined by Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand, Defence Minister David McGuinty and secretary of state for defence procurement Stephen Fuhr at the EU and NATO summits, where military procurement and diversifying supply chains will top the agendas. The international meetings come as Canada looks to reduce its defence procurement reliance on the United States due to strained relations over tariffs and President Donald Trump's repeated talk about Canada becoming a U.S. state. Carney will fly first to Brussels, Belgium, starting the trip with a visit to the Antwerp Schoonselhof Military Cemetery where 348 Canadian soldiers are buried. He will also meet with Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever, European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. At the EU-Canada summit, Anand and McGuinty are expected to sign a security and defence agreement with the EU in what one European official described Friday as one of the most ambitious deals Europe has ever signed with a third country. The agreement will open the door to Canada's participation in the ReArm Europe initiative, allowing Canada to access a 150-billion-euro loan program for defence procurement, called Security Action for Europe. An EU official briefing reporters on Friday said once the procurement deal is in place, Canada will have to negotiate a bilateral agreement with the European Commission to begin discussions with member states about procurement opportunities. A Canadian official briefing reporters on the summit Saturday said the initial agreement will allow for Canada's participation in some joint procurement projects. However, a second agreement will be needed to allow Canadian companies to bid. At the EU-Canada summit, leaders are also expected to issue a joint statement to underscore a willingness for continued pressure on Russia, including through further sanctions, and call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. After Brussels, Carney heads to The Hague in the Netherlands for the NATO leaders' summit on Tuesday and Wednesday. There, Carney will meet with the King of the Netherlands and later with leaders of Nordic nations to discuss Arctic and transatlantic security. At the NATO summit, Carney will take part in bilateral meetings with other leaders. The summit agenda includes a social dinner hosted by the king and queen of the Netherlands and a two-and-a-half hour meeting of the North Atlantic Council. NATO allies are expected to debate a plan to hike alliance members' defence spending target to five per cent of national GDP. NATO data shows that in 2024, none of its 32 members spent that much. The Canadian government official who briefed reporters on background says the spending target and its timeline are still up for discussion, though some allies have indicated they would prefer a seven-year timeline while others favour a decade. Canada hasn't hit a five- per- cent defence spending threshhold since the 1950s and hasn't reached the two per cent mark since the late 1980s. NATO says that, based on its estimate of which expenditures count toward the target, Canada spent $41 billion in 2024 on defence, or 1.37 per cent of GDP. That's more than twice what it spent in 2014, when the two per cent target was first set; that year, Canada spent $20.1 billion, or 1.01 per cent of GDP, on defence. In 2014, only three NATO members achieved the two per cent target — the U.S., the U.K., and Greece. In 2025, all members are expected to hit it. Any agreement to adopt a new spending benchmark must be ratified by all 32 NATO member states. Former Canadian ambassador to NATO Kerry Buck told The Canadian Press the condensed agenda is likely meant to 'avoid public rifts among allies,' describing Trump as an 'uncertainty engine.' 'The national security environment has really, really shifted,' Buck said, adding allies next door to Russia face the greatest threats. 'There is a high risk that the U.S. would undercut NATO at a time where all allies are increasingly vulnerable.' Trump has suggested the U.S. might abandon its mutual defence commitment to the alliance if member countries don't ramp up defence spending. 'Whatever we can do to get through this NATO summit with few public rifts between the U.S. and other allies on anything, and satisfy a very long-standing U.S. demand to rebalance defence spending, that will be good for Canada because NATO's good for Canada,' Buck said. Carney has already made two trips to Europe this year — the first to London and Paris to meet with European allies and the second to Rome to attend the inaugural mass of Pope Leo XIV.
