United Launch Alliance flew the last Atlas V 551 on July 2, ending the rocket's satellite-launching career; its six remaining vehicles are held for Boeing's Starliner as Amazon Leo pivots to Vulcan.
Amazon will acquire Globalstar for about $11.57 billion and inherit the company's iPhone satellite partnership, accelerating its Starlink challenge and its rebranded Amazon Leo constellation.
The FCC will vote April 30 on replacing 1990s-era power limits for LEO satellite constellations, a move that could reshape competition between Starlink, Amazon Leo, and legacy operators.
A new ABI Research report finds that LEO satellite broadband subscriptions reached 11.8 million at the end of 2025, with SpaceX commanding 76 percent of the market, while Amazon and Eutelsat race to scale competing constellations.
Amazon has asked the FCC for a two-year extension on its satellite deployment deadline, citing a rocket shortage, while Eutelsat orders 340 new OneWeb satellites and Telesat adds military Ka-band to Lightspeed as competitors carve out niches against Starlink's 10-million-subscriber lead.
