Amazon has achieved its 100% renewable energy goal seven years ahead of schedule, powering all its operations with sustainable energy. Recognized by Bloomberg NEF as the largest corporate buyer of renewable energy, Amazon has invested in over 500 solar and wind projects worldwide. This commitment significantly advances global sustainability initiatives.

Amazon’s Project Kuiper, which birthed two prototype satellites aimed to test potential satellite broadband service, operates similarly to Space-X’s Starlink and OneWeb. The venture is set to increase internet connectivity in remote areas using an extensive satellite constellation. Still, the delay in launching has welcomed accumulating competition. Rabid advancements by competitors including satellite direct-to-device technology pioneers and those concentrating on 5G NTN IoT services could tilt the scales. Would adopting the 5G NTN-compatible network give Project Kuiper a competitive edge? Or will the ongoing innovations by industry leaders overshadow it? However, underlying operational challenges and time constraints might hamper Amazon from contemplating a substantial shift in direction.
