The new space race, where tech giants battle to offer us high-speed internet from low-earth orbit, is heating up – Amazon has just announced that its first Project Kuiper satellites will be launching next week to take on Starlink.Amazon says the broad aim of Project Kuiper is to “provide fast, affordable broadband to communities around the world that are currently unserved by traditional internet and communications options”. For now, Amazon is looking to get its first internet satellites into space – and all things being well, that’ll be the case by the end of next week. Do you think that Amazon is trying to remain relevant ?
