Musk's company launched the StarLink program early on, and his core value is to provide low-cost internet connectivity services around the world. You can better achieve the coverage of the signal, and even achieve the purpose of free Internet access! But the laying of StarLink I originally thought was the behavior of a country uniting a company, and I never expected that this kind of space Internet project of global Internet connection service would become a commercial way! In 2022, the world-renowned e-commerce platform Amazon also announced that it will join the project!
On May 1, the U.S. Consumer News and Business Channel website (CNBC) reported that Amazon plans to send 3,236 satellites into low-Earth orbit to provide satellite Internet services. The project is called Project Kuiper.
I actually have a question, is there a lot of operators in the world-class Internet connection service in the future, and even provide special network services for targeted enterprises, so many satellites launched in space, there will be no problem! Isn't there a strict limit on the number of organizations involved? This is a hardware-level service project, and it is not just an Internet service!
Project Kuiper is Amazon's space Internet project. In April 2022, Amazon signed a multibillion-dollar contract with three different entities to help launch a Kuiper Project satellite. The three entities are Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin, United Launch Alliance (a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin) and Arianespace in Europe. It was the largest rocket deal in the history of the commercial space industry. Michael Hitts, the reporter for the report, said: "In many ways, this is a response and competition to Elon Musk and his 'Starlink' network of space exploration technologies companies. Amazon first disclosed the Kuiper Project in 2019, and the announcement in April injected new impetus into the project. The Starlink program already has about 2,000 satellites in orbit, with a total of about 250,000 users. The Federal Communications Commission has approved the company's launch of a total of 12,000 satellites. Amazon has yet to launch a satellite, but it could still be a significant player in the race.
This also means that Musk's StarLink plan cannot be like the optical fiber broadband laid by the municipal government, which is a common transmission channel and way for the entire enterprise; and in order to better realize the extension of network connectivity! To better achieve the good expansion of their own business, as for many enterprises to use, it is estimated that it will take a high service fee to achieve! But Amazon has not yet produced a product, it dares to call the board, I have to say that the courage is commendable, then do you think Amazon can rise rapidly in this field and Apple compete with each other?
So many countries and enterprises are thinking of creating their own related products, then if some other regions and countries also want to create similar space Internet projects, how do you think to form a connection, how to more effective network matching, they are operators in the future, or a broadband ID identity only, what do you think, welcome to pay attention to my entrepreneur Li Meng and I communicate together!
