"Project Kuiper is a new initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world," an Amazon spokesperson said Thursday. "This is a long-term project that envisions serving tens of millions of people who lack basic access to broadband internet. We look forward to partnering on this initiative with companies that share this common vision."
The project seems to follow Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' broad vision of developing more infrastructure in space, especially through his space-travel and rocket company Blue Origin. However, the spokesperson said Project Kuiper is an Amazon effort, not Blue Origin's.
