Amazon Seeks Permission To Launch 3,236 Internet Satellites
Amazon is asking the FCC for permission to launch 3,236 satellites that would be used to establish a globe-spanning internet network. Seeking Alpha reported that Amazon expects "to offer service to tens of millions of underserved customers around the world" via the network, which the company is developing under the codename Project Kuiper. Tom's Hardware reports: So what does this plan to offer space internet with a weird name actually involve? Amazon explained in April: "Project Kuiper is a new initiative to launch a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. This is a long-term project that envisions serving tens of millions of people who lack basic access to broadband internet. We look forward to partnering on this initiative with companies that share this common vision."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
