Growth, as the source summarises it
SpeedCast may be growing as it has expanded a managed services contract supporting Australia's Northern Territory Government, indicating an increase in its service provision and potentially its revenue. This expansion within the governmental sector suggests a strengthening of SpeedCast's market position in the telecommunications industry. Furthermore, the fact that the contract is with a governmental body implies a level of trust and reliability in SpeedCast's services, which could lead to further opportunities and partnerships.
