• Greg Wyler's OneWeb. Backed by Virgin. The Bloomberg article on Wyler and OneWeb has in-browser animations that put SaVi to shame. This follows Wyler's previous effort, the now operational O3b.
• Cliff Anders' LeoSat, with a new CEO, who has now moved on.
• Yaliny. Crowdsourced laser communications.
• Laser Light Communications.
• exactEarth.
• Spire Cubesats and other imaging constellations.

and whatever Elon Musk and Google are doing - details are emerging. More to come, no doubt.
