Bezos' Blue Origin to Launch Thousands of Satellites for Global Internet

Space company Blue Origin, owned by Jeff Bezos, has announced a plan to develop 5,408 TeraWave satellites for a communications network serving data centers, governments, and businesses. The company is thus entering a 'satellite constellation' market currently dominated by Elon Musk and his company SpaceX. The deployment of the TeraWave satellites is scheduled to begin in the last quarter of 2027, and the network is designed to have 'data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth'.
