They were joint founders of the Web Summit, the largest technology conference in the world. But now Paddy Cosgrave and David Kelly have fallen out and found themselves on opposite sides in a High Court dispute. Manders Terrace, a holding company behind the Web Summit whose majority shareholder is Cosgrave, has lodged a High Court action against Kelly. The case relates directly to a dispute between Cosgrave, who owns 81 per cent of Manders Terrace, and Kelly, who owns almost 12 per cent.

GPS has transformed everything from driving to search and rescue. But it currently relies on government-run satellites that have trouble peering into canyons and forests—and which can be targeted by enemy countries.
