For years, billionaire Elon Musk has dominated the internet-providing satellite business with his ever-growing Starlink constellation.
Since 2019, SpaceX's famous Falcon 9 rocket has been regularly delivering to orbit batch after batch of Starlink satellites from launch sites in Florida and California. And since 2019, the venture has essentially gone unchallenged.
But that's beginning to change.
As of late April, rival billionaire Jeff Bezos has officially entered the broadband network market following the inaugural launch into orbit of Amazon's internet-beaming satellites. Known as Project Kuiper, the initiative is a subsidiary of the online commerce behemoth that has made Bezos one of the richest men alive.
Now, after delivering the first batch of 27 Kuiper satellites on April 28, Amazon is looking to deploy even more.
