Starlink has more than 9,000 satellites in orbit and roughly 9 million customers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">Amazon, which Bezos founded in 1994, has also ramped up its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/04\/04\/amazon-project-kuiper-broadband-internet-small-satellite-network.html\">own offering<\/a> in the past year. The service recently rebranded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/11\/24\/amazon-allows-businesses-to-test-leo-satellite-service-starlink-rival.html\">Project Kuiper to Leo<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The company has sent up 180 satellites since last April through a series of rocket launches handled by partners such as United Launch Alliance and SpaceX. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/04\/05\/amazon-signs-rocket-deal-with-blue-origin-arianespace-ula-for-project-kuiper-internet-satellites.html\">Several future deployments<\/a> are expected to be handled by Blue Origin. <\/p>\n<p>Amazon aims to build a constellation of 3,236 low Earth satellites that will serve businesses, governments and consumers. Last November, the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/11\/24\/amazon-allows-businesses-to-test-leo-satellite-service-starlink-rival.html\">opened up<\/a> an &#8220;enterprise preview&#8221; to select users ahead of a broader commercial launch.  <\/p>\n<p>Bezos <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/12\/04\/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-will-be-bigger-than-amazon.html\">predicted in 2024<\/a> that Blue Origin would one day be a bigger company than Amazon. He founded Blue Origin in 2000, and Dave Limp, Amazon&#8217;s former devices boss, serves as its CEO. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s going to be the best business that I&#8217;ve ever been involved in, but it&#8217;s going to take a while,&#8221; Bezos said in a 2024 interview at The New York Times&#8217; DealBook Summit.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Origin is primarily a rocket launch company, flying tourists and research to the edge of space on short trips. Last January, the startup notched a major milestone when it successfully launched its towering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/01\/16\/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-new-glenn-rocket-launch.html\">New Glenn<\/a> rocket for the first time, though it was unable to return the rocket&#8217;s booster back to a barge for reuse. Blue Origin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueorigin.com\/missions\/ng-2\" target=\"_blank\">nailed the landing<\/a> of its New Glenn rocket booster last November following the successful launch of a pair of NASA spacecraft. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"Placeholder-ArticleBody-Video-108187713\">\n<div role=\"button\" id=\"Placeholder-ArticleBody-Video-108187713\" class=\"PlaceHolder-wrapper\" data-vilynx-id=\"7000386605\" data-test=\"VideoPlaceHolder\">\n<div class=\"InlineVideo-videoEmbed\" id=\"InlineVideo-0\" data-test=\"InlineVideo\">\n<div class=\"InlineVideo-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"InlineVideo-inlineThumbnailContainer\"><span class=\"InlineVideo-videoButton\" \/><span \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/01\/21\/bezos-blue-origin-satellite-internet-spacex-amazon.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff Bezos holds the aviation glasses that belonged to Amelia Earhart as he speaks during a press conference about his flight on Blue Origin\u2019s New Shepard into space, in Van Horn, Texas, July 20, 2021.
