ViaSat Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSAT#NASDAQ">VSAT</a>) shares are sitting on the sidelines Wednesday while the broader market rallies. The muted price action may be partly due to The Bear Cave&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/short-sellers"> latest short report</a>.
What To Know: Short-selling firm The Bear Cave has published a new report suggesting Elon Musk&#8217;s SpaceX is eating ViaSat&#8217;s lunch.
&#8220;The Bear Cave believes new competition led by SpaceX's Starlink is stealing share from Viasat's key markets and will continue to grow at Viasat's expense,&#8221; the short seller<a href="https://thebearcave.substack.com/p/problems-at-viasat-vsat"> said</a>. 
Benzinga has reached out to ViaSat for comment on the report. 
The Bear Cave expects Donald Trump&#8217;s return to the White House to further increase competitive pressure from SpaceX on its business given Musk&#8217;s support of Trump throughout his campaign.
The short seller noted that SpaceX&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/starlink">Starlink</a> offers a collection of low-orbit satellites that can provide connectivity with greater bandwidth and lower latency than traditional solutions like ViaSat. 
&#8220;Based on the collective reviews of customers, employees, and engineers,&nbsp;The Bear Cave concludes Viasat is a dead company walking,&#8221; The Bear Cave said. 
The Bear Cave went on to highlight specific commentary from customers, suggesting many are switching to Starlink. He also pointed to the company&#8217;s most recent subscriber base total of 257,000, down from around 600,000 in 2020.
&#8220;Based on consumer reviews, The Bear Cave expects that base to dwindle further,&#8221; the short seller said. 
VSAT Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/qupte/vsat">ViaSat shares</a> were down 1.05% at $10.39 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The company is set to report earnings after the market close Wednesday.

The Defense Department is increasing its projected spending on low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet services more than tenfold, responding to surging demand from across the military, SpaceNews has learned.
The military&#39;s Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) Satellite-Based Services program, launched just last year with a $900 million ceiling, has been expanded to $13 billion by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and the Space Systems Command, a spokesperson confirmed.&nbsp;
The dramatic jump in funding underscores how vital high-speed satellite internet has become for military operations, as all branches clamor for the capabilities provided by services like SpaceX&#39;s Starlink. The PLEO contract also is being expanded in anticipation of Amazon&#39;s Project Kuiper entering the LEO internet market in the coming years.
The PLEO program is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract managed by DISA and the Space Systems Command&#39;s Commercial Satellite Communications Office. The program so far selected 20 vendors to compete for specific task orders over a five-year base period with an option for an additional five years.&nbsp;
Before this increase, the PLEO contract <a href="https://spacenews.com/space-force-to-increase-spending-on-low-earth-orbit-satellite-services/">had already spent about $660 million </a>of its original $900 million ceiling. Most of the orders have been for Starshield, the militarized version of the Starlink service.

'DoD Is Raising Its Proliferated Low Earth Orbit Satellite-Based Services Program From An Initial $900M Ceiling To A Projected $13B' - SpaceNews

Needham analyst Ryan Koontz maintains Viasat (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSAT#NASDAQ">VSAT</a>) with a Buy and lowers the price target from $28 to $19.

<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4277339-1&amp;h=836508196&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.viasat.com%2F&amp;a=Viasat%2C+Inc.">Viasat, Inc.</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSAT#NASDAQ">VSAT</a>), a global leader in satellite communications, today announced it has successfully demonstrated direct-to-device satellite connectivity in India for the first time.
&nbsp;
Working alongside partner&nbsp;BSNL, India's telecommunications provider, Viasat engineers successfully showcased satellite-powered two-way messaging services for attendees at India Mobile Congress — one of Asia's largest technology fairs.&nbsp;Viasat is currently working with its partners, including BSNL in India, to power the expansion of satellite services on consumer and IoT devices across the world.
In the trial,&nbsp;Viasat demonstrated two-way messaging and SoS messaging using a commercial Android smartphone enabled for non-terrestrial network (NTN) connectivity. The messages were sent roughly 36,000km to one of Viasat's geostationary L-band satellites. The outcome proves satellite services to cell phone connectivity is technically feasible for Indian consumers and businesses using Viasat's satellite network.
Direct-to-device connectivity is a new technology which allows everyday devices – like mobile phones, smart watches, or cars – industrial machinery, and transport operators to connect seamlessly to both terrestrial and satellite coverage. This means devices can stay connected from any location without the need for dedicated hardware to connect to satellites. The new technology follows new&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4277339-1&amp;h=838258284&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.3gpp.org%2F&amp;a=global+mobile+3GPP">global mobile 3GPP</a>&nbsp;release 17 standards, which are currently being adopted by satellite operators, mobile network operators, handset and chipset manufacturers.
Viasat has a longstanding heritage in providing satellite safety services – including providing the backbone of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety Service (GMDSS), with more than 120,000 connected safety terminals, and flight deck safety communications for over 12,000 aircraft. It provides these highly reliable safety communications through its licensed L-band spectrum.
Viasat is also a founding member of <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4277339-1&amp;h=2011879482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mss-association.org%2F&amp;a=MSSA">MSSA</a>, a non-profit industry association formed to support open interoperable architectures and standards for integrating terrestrial and NTN services. For mobile network operators, using existing licensed satellite spectrum avoids tying up valuable cellular spectrum and avoids new regulatory approval processes.

<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4275056-1&amp;h=297657185&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.viasat.com%2F&amp;a=Viasat%2C+Inc.">Viasat, Inc.</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSAT#NASDAQ">VSAT</a>), a global leader in satellite communications, today announced that it is now delivering ViaSat-3 F1 (VS3 F1) service to the U.S. Marine Corps, marking the first use of the ViaSat-3 network by a government customer. This follows the VS3 F1 satellite recently beginning to deliver services for commercial airline customers operating over North America.
The Marine Wing Communications Squadron 38 (MWCS-38) and the 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment are the first military operational units to leverage service from the ViaSat-3 F1 satellite. The MWCS-38, which provides expeditionary communications support to the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) inside the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF), is using existing Multi-Mission Terminals (MMT) to access VS3 F1 service. The 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment, based out of the Marine Corps Base Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, is also using VS3 F1 services to support mission and reconnaissance operation communications.
The ViaSat-3 constellation, which will include two additional satellites, is designed to deliver high-throughput, flexible broadband connectivity that can meet (or exceed) performance, security and resilience requirements for U.S. and global coalition mission operations.
