Amazon has begun a beta program for its satellite internet service, Amazon Leo, aiming to compete with SpaceX's Starlink by offering gigabit speeds. The initial rollout targets select enterprise customers who will test Amazon's powerful satellite dishes, while the company plans to expand access next year. Currently, Amazon's satellite constellation is limited compared to Starlink's extensive network.

Amazon successfully launched its first batch of 27 Kuiper internet satellites, marking the beginning of its Project Kuiper aimed at competing with Starlink. The company plans to deploy a total of 1,618 satellites by mid-2026 and has committed up to $10 billion to develop the network, with commercial services expected to begin later this year.
