Amazon has just put its first Project Kuiper internet satellites into orbit, but when can it start to properly compete with SpaceX's Starlink?

The first 27 satellites for Amazon's Kuiper broadband internet constellation were launched into space from Florida on Monday, kicking off the long-delayed deployment of an internet-from-space network that will rival SpaceX's Starlink.

Amazon launched 27 Project Kuiper satellites to compete with Starlink, aiming to deliver global broadband by 2025 with a planned network of 3,200 satellites.
