Amazon wants to deploy 5,105 satellites for its direct-to-mobile service

Amazon is building a massive satellite network called Project Kuiper through its Leo subsidiary, which has already launched over 390 satellites. The company now wants to deploy a total of 5,105 satellites to power a direct-to-mobile service, meaning people could connect their phones to the internet via satellite without special equipment. This would expand internet access globally, competing with services like SpaceX's Starlink.
