The National Security Agency has many requirements and restrictions, which will severely limit their earning power.
For example, any company that buys satellite data can only buy images that are as recent as a few months ago.
Even though their satellites take pictures of the entire world every day, the Department of Homeland Security is concerned when they update their data.
Leaking military and other departmental secrets requires them to do so within a maximum of six months;
Frankly, what is available to partners today is satellite imagery taken six months ago, whereas satellite imagery taken today will not be available to partners until six months later.
This results in satellite imagery becoming unattractive to many users because it is not real-time enough.
If the database is updated fast enough, its usefulness will increase exponentially. But for the US government, if this kind of corporate database is updated too fast, it will also be a threat to them.
The US President travels in secret, and one day, the general public Netizens can capture the president’s movements through the changing positions of Air Force One. This is absolutely intolerable.
In addition, the United States is conducting military operations in many countries, for example Syria. The US military just stole Syrian oil, and satellite photos were clearly visible the next day.
Therefore, in addition to strict regulations regarding punctuality, the national security department also has many other requirements,
for example, the timeliness of satellite imagery in a certain coordinate range must be more than two years, while some coordinates do not allow the timeliness of any form of satellite photography, even certain coordinates must be replaced with image materials provided by the national security department to deceive the public.
There may have been ten nuclear bomb silos built here, but from satellite maps it still looks like a manless mess.
In addition, their database also goes directly to the security department, which checks their data at any time to prevent possible leaks of confidentiality.
There are so many restrictions and shackles that are like a curse and full of torture for this company.
The founders and shareholders had hoped to sell the company and start a new business in an unfettered manner,
but the national security department did not give them this opportunity, stipulating that the controlling shareholder of this company must be a native American company, and the actual controller of the company must also be an American who is more than three generations old.
This has limited some potential buyers in the United States, and all potential buyers outside the United States.
Not only is there a requirement for a controlling shareholder, even before the company is listed, all shareholders must be companies from NATO member countries.
Any current shareholder is not allowed to resell the animal species to companies outside NATO member states.
This means that if Charlie were to acquire 1% of the company through normal channels, it would be a fantasy.
Of course, the many restrictions also make the founders of this company want to cash in, which is also a dream, because no one will be interested in a company full of constraints.
Just when the company founder felt that he would never be able to get the cash and leave,
he suddenly received news that the famous Rothschild family was actually interested in his humble little company!
Rothschild even wanted to acquire his own company completely!
