Amazon Leo satellite internet takes on Starlink

Amazon Leo satellite internet is getting closer to turning on service for customers. Amazon launched 29 more satellites into low Earth orbit on July 2, bringing its deployed total to 396 satellites, according to Amazon's latest mission update. That launch gives Amazon enough satellites for an initial service rollout later this year. However, the newest satellites still need to move into their assigned operating positions before they can support customers.

That is a big step for Amazon. It also shows how far Amazon still has to go.
