How Amazon's Project Kuiper is taking on SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet

Project Kuiper is Amazon's plan to deliver internet from space using 3,236 small satellites in low Earth orbit. It's seen as a direct competitor to Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet venture. Starlink already has about 2,000 satellites in orbit, serving about 250,000 total subscribers, but the FCC has approved SpaceX to launch a total of 12,000 satellites. Amazon has yet to launch any, but did sign a multi-billion dollar contract with three rocket companies to send its satellites to space.
