Caption: Amazon Drops $11 Billion to Challenge Starlink in Space Internet Race. Amazon is making a massive $11 billion move to take on Starlink, signaling a new phase in the battle for global satellite internet. The tech giant plans to acquire Globalstar and scale up its low-Earth orbit satellite network under Project Kuiper, aiming to launch thousands of satellites by 2028. Right now, Amazon is playing catch-up — with only a few hundred satellites in orbit compared to Starlink’s more than 10,000 already serving millions of users worldwide. Backed by Elon Musk and SpaceX, Starlink has a huge head start — but Amazon is betting big on long-term infrastructure and partnerships. Major players like Delta Airlines, AT&T, and even NASA are already lining up to use Amazon’s future network. With Apple also tied into Globalstar’s satellite SOS system, this deal could reshape how billions stay connected — from remote areas to disaster zones. The space internet war is heating up — and Amazon just made its biggest move yet. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
