FCC Waives Amazon Leo's Half-Deployment Deadline, Extends Constellation Target to 2029

The FCC waived Amazon's requirement to launch half of its satellite broadband constellation by July 30, 2026, the regulator announced Friday. Originally, Amazon needed to deploy 1,616 of its 3,232 satellites by that date to maintain authorization for the full network. The commission removed the intermediate deadline while keeping the final deployment target of July 30, 2029 for the entire constellation. FCC Space Bureau Chief Jay Schwarz signed the ruling, citing Amazon Leo's $10 billion investment and the public interest in developing a second large satellite broadband service to compete with SpaceX's Starlink.
