Blue Origin's massive New Glenn rocket was picked to launch Telesat's internet satellites into space, the companies announced Thursday. Together, the companies are competing against Tesla CEO Elon Musk's SpaceX, which is launching thousands of satellites into space that will send internet back to earth.

Mobile broadband services don't reach about 14 million rural Americans, as well as 1.2 million Americans on tribal lands, according to the FCC. There are satellites, like those of Hughes Communications and ViaSat, that provide residential broadband connections. But Telesat is looking to take that a step further, aiming to offer "fiber-like" internet connections to both residential and mobile customers.
