Amazon's Project Kuiper broadband service, developed in partnership with NBN Co, is expected to launch commercially by mid-2026. This plan comes as NBN Co seeks to extend internet access to remote users in Australia. Currently, Amazon has deployed only 78 of its targeted 3,200 satellites, with further launches planned. If Amazon falls behind its targets, NBN Co is not overly concerned due to its existing satellite services. Competition from SpaceX's Starlink is notable, with claims of over 350,000 customers in Australia, raising questions about the market's saturation.
Amazon's Project Kuiper will be ready for commercial services from mid-2026, in collaboration with NBN Co to provide broadband to remote users.
As of now, Amazon has launched only 78 of its planned 3,200 satellites, with delays likely affecting the timeline for launching the fleet.
Despite potential delays in Amazon's Kuiper service, NBN Co is not concerned as it already provides broadband to over 100,000 remote locations.
SpaceX's Starlink claims to have over 350,000 active customers in Australia, posing significant competition for Amazon's upcoming satellite broadband service.
