Amazon has reached a major milestone in its Project Kuiper initiative by launching its first satellites, marking a significant step toward establishing a global broadband network to rival SpaceX’s Starlink. The move comes after years of dedicated development and investment, signaling Amazon’s intent to compete in the fast-growing satellite internet market. This development is expected to intensify industry competition, potentially expanding connectivity options and reshaping the satellite communications landscape.
Amazon has been working on Kuiper for six years, planning to build a constellation of broadband internet satellites.
