Amazon to launch first Project Kuiper satellites

Amazon.com says it will launch the first batch of satellites to power its internet-from-space initiative as soon as April 9.

The company’s Project Kuiper aims to put more than 3,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit, delivering internet connectivity to companies, governments and consumers, a business that today is dominated by SpaceX’s Starlink.

Given that Amazon operate in SA already, will they have the same red tape issues as Starlink operating a local ISP or is that already taken care of?

As long as they are complying with the local BEE laws they won't have any issues. Operation feed a cadre is a crucial step in the process.
