Amazon has initiated its Project Kuiper with the launch of 27 satellites aboard a ULA Atlas V rocket, marking the beginning of a $10 billion project to provide global broadband connectivity. Competing with SpaceX's Starlink, which has already established a significant presence, Kuiper aims to deploy a total of 3,236 satellites, with services potentially starting later this year. Amazon faces a regulatory deadline to deploy 1,618 satellites by mid-2026, but delays might necessitate an extension. The project targets underserved areas, recognizing the high demand for internet services globally.
