Amzon is entering the internet satellite market

Last week, Amazon announced the biggest rocket deal in commercial space history. Amazon’s Project Kuiper plans to send thousands of internet satellites into orbit in 83 rocket launches over the next five years. A third of the world’s population still doesn’t have internet access. The deal of Amazon is equal to the one of E. Musk, i.e. small, low-orbiting satellites that send broadband to remote locations, and do it without the latency issues that satellite internet is known for.
