Amazon's Starlink rival Project Kuiper is reportedly way behind schedule
Briefly

Amazon's Project Kuiper satellite internet service is struggling to meet its production goals and has fallen far behind rivals like SpaceX's Starlink. The company has managed to manufacture only a few dozen satellites, whereas over 7,000 Starlink satellites are already in orbit. Although Amazon aims to provide broadband connectivity to 400 million households, the ambitious target necessitates launching at least 3,000 satellites. Insider reports suggest that the company may need an extension from the FCC to meet its government contract's deadline of 1,600 satellites in orbit by next summer.
