Amazon takes on SpaceX to build satellite broadband service

The Hindu  

Amazon said it has received approval to build low earth orbit satellites to provide high-speed and low latency broadband service to under-served regions. The US Federal Communication Commission approved Amazon’s Project Kuiper in a 5-0 vote, allowing the technology company to deploy and operate a constellation of 3,236 inter-connected satellites to provide internet. The technology company said it will provide ground station service directly to its customers, and backhaul support for wireless carriers who provide LTE and 5G service to new regions. “We are doing an incredible amount of invention to deliver fast, reliable broadband at a price that makes sense for customers,” said Rajeev Badyal, VP, Technology for Project Kuiper.
