Download Weekly: Project Kuiper looms closer

Australia’s NBN Co to offer Amazon satellite broadband next year

Australia’s NBN Co plans to wholesale Amazon satellite broadband from the middle of 2026. The state-owned broadband provider says it will use Project Kuiper satellites to deliver services to regional, rural, and remote areas of Australia.

Project Kuiper could be live elsewhere well before that date. A post on the About Amazon website says the company expects its first commercial customers to connect before the end of this year.
