FCC to Speed Up Starlink by Rethinking Satellite Power Rules

The FCC proposes revising decades-old Equivalent Power Flux Density rules to let geostationary and non-geostationary satellite systems coordinate more flexibly, enabling higher power use for NGSO like Starlink. If approved, this could boost speeds and capacity (potentially 100–700% with the same satellites) and lower costs, while imposing technical backstops to curb interference. A vote on April 30 will decide; SpaceX backs the change amid rivals’ concerns about interference and market impact.

Delta to Get Orbit-Powered Wi-Fi as Amazon Leo Expands Across 500 Planes in 2028

Amazon Leo will power Delta Air Lines’ in-flight Wi‑Fi starting in 2028, initially equipping 500 aircraft with high‑speed, low‑latency connectivity via a low‑Earth‑orbit satellite network and aviation‑grade phased‑array antennas offering up to 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps upload. The service will be free for Delta SkyMiles members, and the multi‑year deal strengthens Delta’s AWS relationship by enabling Leo, AI, and other Amazon technologies to enhance the end-to-end travel experience across Delta’s global fleet.

Blue Origin unveils enterprise-focused 6Tbps satellite internet with TeraWave

Blue Origin plans TeraWave, a space-based internet network offering up to 6 terabits per second globally for uploads and downloads, targeting tens of thousands of enterprise, data center, and government customers. The multi-orbit constellation will include 5,408 satellites (including 128 in medium Earth orbit), with ground connectivity via standard wireless links and deployments slated to begin around the end of 2027; consumer access is not part of the initial plan.

Amazon and SpaceX Collaborate on Kuiper Satellite Launches for Broadband Service

Amazon plans to launch its satellite internet project, Project Kuiper, by the end of 2025 to provide connectivity in underserved areas, competing with Elon Musk's Starlink. The project has already launched two satellite sets and could generate significant revenue, but weather conditions pose a risk to satellite launches. Wall Street analysts are optimistic about Amazon's stock, with a strong buy rating and potential upside.
