Show Notes
Amazons Project Kuiper, now known as Leo, is set to launch commercially in mid-2026, with an enterprise preview starting at the end of 2025. Unlike Starlink, Amazon currently relies on partners like SpaceX for launches, but plans to use Jeff Bezoss New Glenn once its fully operational. With FCC approval for 3,236 satellites, only 241 are currently in orbit, falling short of the required 1,618 by July 2026. Despite the delay, Amazon promises Leo will outperform current options, cost less, and seamlessly integrate with AWS for data management. As a potential Starlink backup, Leo is poised to fill global coverage gaps, appealing to businesses and governments.
