The Federal Communications Commission has waived Amazon's requirement to launch half of its 3,232-satellite Leo constellation by July 2026, removing the deadline while maintaining a July 2029 target for the entire network. The waiver acknowledges Amazon's $10 billion investment and the need for competition against SpaceX's Starlink, though Amazon faces continued launch delays due to grounded rockets from Blue Origin and United Launch Alliance.
