The world's largest retailer wants to sell you something else—Internet from space.
Amazon has been developing a constellation of satellites to deliver broadband Internet from low-Earth orbit for the better part of a decade, and the company is just about ready to pull back the curtain. It is entering a market that SpaceX, with its Starlink Internet, has dominated for the last half decade. Amazon's debut into satellite Internet is being closely watched, not just by some consumers, but by businesses ranging from airlines, to shipping companies, to governments. Broadband Internet from orbit has proven to be broadly useful for a lot of purposes, from video games to commerce to warfighting.
But until now most people had to buy it from Elon Musk and SpaceX. OneWeb has only offered limited services, leaving Amazon as the only real competitor to deliver high-speed Internet globally. Moreover, at the head of the company's broadband efforts is Rajeev Badyal, whom Musk fired eight years ago for moving too cautiously on Starlink.
