Amazon is among the companies that intend to block the media, alleging that it will interfere with other satellites.

Amazon is working to create its own system with the intention of launching more than 3,000 satellites to the lower Earth orbit, but has not yet started producing. The company claims that “the exchanges proposed by SpaceX paralyze the competence between the satellite systems”.
“We design the Kuiper system to avoid interferences with Starlink, and now SpaceX will change the design of its system. These cams are not solely created a most annoying turnaround for the collisions in this space, we also want to increase the radio interference for customers “, said an Amazon correspondent on CNBC.
