In January 2015, the Wall Street Journal reported that WorldVu, now operating under the name OneWeb LTD, had secured funding from Virgin Group and Qualcomm to build and launch the constellation, while SpaceX was not an investor and their role in the venture was not clear.
By June 2015, the company modified their plan somewhat to orbit a total constellation of 720 satellites, operating in low Earth orbit at altitude,[REF] which plan was somewhat reduced by early 2016 with only 640 satellites planned, but still at 1200 km [REF].
