Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos is set to launch a new satellite broadband service in Britain to rival Elon Musk

The billionaire Jeff Bezos of Amazon is planning to introduce a new satellite broadband service in the United Kingdom.

This year, Project Kuiper might be up and running.

As it develops the capabilities of its first-generation system, Amazon informed communications regulator Ofcom that it hopes to have more access to Britain’s radio waves in the coming year or two.

The tech behemoth added that it thought Project Kuiper was well suited to reach remote regions of the United Kingdom.

It targets government contracts and businesses.

Bezos’ rocket company, Blue Origin, has a contract to launch dozens of satellites.

The move places Bezos in competition with fellow billionaire Elon Musk, who has 87,000 users in Britain with his Starlink broadband network.

Bezos was previously referred to as a copycat by Musk.

The U.S. Sun reported last year that Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were preparing to wed in a winter “extravagant” ceremony in Aspen with their A-list acquaintances.

The U.S. Sun was privately informed by a source that Bezos and Sanchez, 54, have been secretly organizing their celebrity-filled nuptials.

He had a prior marriage to Mackenzie Scott, with whom he had four children.

With an estimated net worth of $30 billion, Scott has donated two-thirds of her fortune to charitable causes.
