Starlink and Project Kuiper are locked in a fierce competition to dominate the satellite internet market, with Starlink currently leading in deployed satellites. This rivalry is transforming space into a new battleground for internet access. Starlink's extensive network, with over 7,000 satellites, gives it a significant advantage, while Kuiper, backed by Amazon, is rapidly deploying its own constellation and forming strategic partnerships. Both aim to provide high-speed internet globally, especially in underserved areas. The race between these tech giants is expected to drive innovation and benefit consumers, although other countries are also launching their own satellite internet services. The competition will likely reshape how the world connects to the internet.
