Well, this shoots down the argument that Blue Origin is just Amazon's space wing. Strange to see them launching a direct Amazon Leo competitor but now that they have reusable boosters (on paper) it does make more sense for them to control the lion's share of their launch manifest with their own megaconstellation.

It's not a Leo competitor, it's a different type of service offering.

  Fair enough, I was misremembering the higher end of Leo's bandwidth (1Gbps down/400Kbps up). Doesn't really intersect with TeraWave at all

      It's a dual modem solution, optionally. Laser or RF. Different speeds and reliability levels. Target customers of the Government, Enterprise, etc type.
