The Kuiper proto-network came online in November last year with two satellites [1][2]. If you live near their Denver office you can pick them up on Ka band or just look up their id’s on CelesTrak or NORAD (2023-154A and 2023-154B). Having had one of the first 1,000 dishy V1’s (at least by MAC address) I’m as big of a fan of Starlink as anyone if not more so, but even I have some reservations about cheerleading a low-earth orbit communication monopoly. Yes these other guys are behind but it’s intellectually dishonest to call it vapor ware or “zero”. I plan on supporting both networks and more if possible just as with GNSS.
