Eutelsat targets revenue of \u20ac6.5 billion over 12 years for its share, though the EC&#8217;s only pledged &#8220;several hundred&#8221; million euro to the consortium as a whole. SES expects an internal rate of return of more than 10% from its investment.<\/p>\n<p>The companies hope to secure additional revenue from European governments and other bodies as well as international partners, which looks plausible given the common desire to reduce reliance on US technology. Outside the government segment, they may face stiff competition from SpaceX, Amazon, Telesat and Chinese networks, some of which may be available earlier.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\tclass='bb-wysiwyg ' style=''>\n\t\t\t<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Iris2 Capital Cost (\u20ac10.6 Billion)<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n    <figure class=\"bbg-single-image__figure\" style=\"max-width:1024px\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"694\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-523.png\" class=\"bbg-single-image__image attachment-large\" alt=\"Iris2 Capital Cost (\u20ac10.6 Billion)\" title=\"Figure-523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-523.png 800w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-523.png 552w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-523.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-523.png 124w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-523.png 1059w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n        \n            <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n\t<section\n\tclass='bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed' data-anchor='row-69d7d23fbee21'\t>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\n\t\tbbg-row--content\t\t\"\n>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <div class=\"bbg-accordion transparent\">\n\t<input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"bbg-accordion-toggle-69d7d23fc0ee4\">\n\t<div class=\"bbg-accordion-parent\" data-accordion-toggle aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t<label class=\"bbg-accordion-label\" for=\"bbg-accordion-toggle-69d7d23fc0ee4\">\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"bbg-accordion-title\" data-label=\"Disclaimer\">\n\t\tDisclaimer\n\t<\/h5>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"bbg-accordion-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bb-wysiwyg '>\n\t\t\t<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 24px;\">The data included in these materials are for illustrative purposes only.
