Amazon's Project Kuiper Partners with Vrio for Satellite Internet in South America

The collaboration aims to provide high-speed internet access to millions across seven countries, addressing significant connectivity gaps.

Amazon and Vrio will offer satellite internet services in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Uruguay.
The initiative targets over 200 million people with poor or no internet access, leveraging low Earth orbit satellites.
Service demonstrations are expected by the end of the year, with commercial launch planned for 2025.
Project Kuiper's network will compete directly with SpaceX's Starlink, which already serves millions globally.
The partnership emphasizes bridging the digital divide, enhancing education, economic opportunities, and healthcare in remote areas.
