Amazon’s Project Kuiper in queue for satcom licence

Amazon’s Project Kuiper may soon join Bharti-backed Eutelsat OneWeb and the Reliance Jio’s satellite arm to get a satcom license as the Jeff Bezos-led firm submitted the requisite critical documents to the government.

Officials aware of the matter said Amazon has provided all details, including its network diagram to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and are currently under the latter’s evaluation. “If all goes well and no more documents are required, the Amazon proposal will be taken up by an inter-ministerial committee in the next meeting,” a person privy to the developments told ET.
