However, there is a small (or rather, large) problem: Apple is not just a "customer" of Globalstar, but the strategic partner that controls the network's core, making these negotiations akin to a complex chess game between tech giants. Amazon does not want to remain in the shadow of Elon Musk's "Starlink" forever. Through its own project, "Project Kuiper," it seeks to build a constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit to provide high-speed internet everywhere. So far, Amazon has launched more than 180 satellites, a number that seems very modest compared to the 10,000 active satellites Starlink has, so acquiring an existing company like Globalstar would give it a huge technical boost. Amazon has already begun planning to leverage these space capabilities, having signed major commercial agreements, including providing free high-speed Wi-Fi on "Delta" airline flights starting in 2028. Acquiring Globalstar will reinforce this trend and position Amazon as a major player that cannot be underestimated in the tech sky. This is where things get interesting; Apple is not just a...
