The satellite communications business is "hot" as they say in the jargon. There are already enough companies, many others entering and all of them with big plans to deploy thousands of small satellites in low orbits around the Earth (about 600 km above our surface).
And all of this is to deliver fast, low-latency Internet communications to anyone, anywhere in the world. Geo-stationary satellites at an altitude of 22,000 km have high latencies and do not offer the same speeds.
There are several companies in this field, and it seems that Amazon does not want to miss out on its piece of the cake, in order to extend its online services with high speed to anyone, wherever they are.
Amazon's idea is to place more than 3,000 satellites in orbit, which will be added to the thousands of other companies. Just as an example, a Chinese company intends to put more than 13,000 satellites into orbit.
In the photo below you can see what the Earth will look like with thousands of satellites around it.
There are already many experts who complain about the indiscriminate "seeding" of satellites, and I have serious doubts that they are strictly necessary in the case of populated areas with good fiber optic networks.
The "problem" is that since the space belongs to everyone and no one, there are no rules to operate in it, and everyone does what they want and what is best for them.
It is true that the increase in communications has generated greater needs for bandwidth. And that increase can come in different ways: through satellites or through more and better fiber infrastructures. We will have to find a compromise between cost, benefit and people's needs.
Our stratosphere cannot be hijacked by a very powerful few Companies.
But I fear the worst.
