Are there credible competitors to Starlink in OneWeb, Amazon’s Project Kuiper, or other planned megaconstellations?

Well no, at least not in the megaconstellations class as literally NO ONE has access to the same low launch cost or high volume launch capacity without paying for trips on SpaceX.

There was a lot of talk about how Amazon’s Project Kuiper was going to catch up but it is physically and financially impossible at the moment due to launch capacity of Amazon’s launch partners and even with Kuiper requiring few sat launches. I would have to go back and do the math again but they had like 3 partners that are currently CAPABLE (BlueOrigan is still sub orbital and waiting on New Glenn to work) and even if they use ALL theoretical launch’s at MAX capacity I think it was going to take them something like 3 years to launch the complete Kuiper constellation…

SpaceX effectively has a monopoly on high speed / low latency satellite internet for the next 5+ years

Idk why the clickbait-y title

It is a direct jab at all of the , exploded, failure, etc headlines that made it sound like this test wasn’t highly successful.

This was one of the expected results, SpaceX doesn’t try to get it perfect, they test for failures till it works rapidly.
