Amazon given go ahead to launch thousands of satellites to boost internet access worldwide



Amazon was on Thursday granted regulatory approval to create a satellite constellation as part of a $10 billion (€8.4 billion) project to provide affordable internet to underserved communities around the world.
Amazon's Project Kuiper will compete with the Starlink constellation being set up by Elon Musk's SpaceX.
