Taiwan in talks over Amazon's Project Kuiper space broadband
Briefly

Taiwan's minister stated Kuiper is the most mature satellite broadband service, despite it not being operational, highlighting potential collaboration for substantial connectivity needs.
Taiwan relies on submarine cables for internet, which are vulnerable to outages, underscoring the necessity for secure satellite broadband to mitigate risks.
SpaceX's Starlink is unavailable in Taiwan due to regulatory issues, while Eutelsat OneWeb's bandwidth is deemed insufficient for Taiwan's substantial connectivity requirements.
Recent damage to submarine cables served as a reminder of the vulnerabilities in Taiwan's internet infrastructure, raising concerns over potential disruptions from China.
