About this page

This page reports that Amazon is considering acquiring Globalstar, a satellite communication service provider used by Apple for iPhone emergency SOS features. Globalstar provides low-earth orbit satellite communication services, and Apple owns 20% of the company's shares. Amazon aims to strengthen its Amazon Leo satellite internet service to compete with SpaceX's Starlink. While Amazon has deployed approximately 180 satellites, it plans 3,200 total. Starlink leads the market with over 9,500 satellites already in orbit. Apple's investment stake complicates the acquisition negotiations.
