"Leo will seamlessly integrate with AWS to enable enterprises and governments to move data back and forth for storage, analytics, and AI."
"Delta would be joining other Leo customers like JetBlue, AT&T, Vodafone, DIRECTV Latin America, Australia's national broadband network, Nasa, and others."
"Amazon's efforts to join the internet space race have also been hampered by having to rely on competitors' rockets for launches."
"The rivalry between Amazon and Space X, and by extension their owners, is expected to shape the coming decades of the commercial space industry."
Amazon's satellite internet service, Leo, will go live in mid-2026, with 200 low-orbit satellites already in space and plans for thousands more. CEO Andy Jassy announced revenue commitments from various enterprises and governments. Delta Air Lines will use Leo for onboard wifi on 500 planes starting in 2028. Amazon's efforts face challenges, including reliance on competitors' rockets for launches, but plans for Blue Origin to launch Leo satellites from 2027 are in place. The competition between Amazon and SpaceX is expected to influence the commercial space industry significantly.
