- Project Kuiper is Amazon’s plan to deliver internet from space using 3,236 small satellites in low Earth orbit. It’s seen as a direct competitor to Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet venture. Starlink already has about 2,000 satellites in orbit, serving about 250,000 total subscribers, but the FCC has approved SpaceX to launch a total of 12,000 satellites. Amazon has yet to launch any, but did sign a multibillion-dollar contract with three rocket companies to send its satellites to space. Watch the video to learn how Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellite internet service will compete with SpaceX’s Starlink, and why the e-commerce giant is in a good position to deliver connectivity throughout the globe in the not too distant future.
Amazon has a plan to deliver internet from space using 3,236 small satellites in low Earth orbit. It’s called Project Kuiper.
In April, the company signed a multibillion-dollar contract - the largest rocket deal in the history of the commercial space industry - for launches of its Kuiper satellites with three different entities: Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin, United Launch Alliance (a joint venture of Boeing and Lockheed Martin) and Europe’s Arianespace.
“In many ways, it’s a response and a competition to Elon Musk and SpaceX with its Starlink network,” said CNBC space reporter Michael Sheetz. Amazon first revealed Project Kuiper in 2019, but the company’s announcement last month gave it new momentum.
SpaceX’s Starlink already has about 2,000 satellites in orbit, serving about 250,000 total subscribers. The Federal Communications Commission has approved SpaceX to launch a total of 12,000 satellites.
Amazon hasn’t yet launched a single satellite, but it could still be a big player in the game.
“The satellite communications market is one that’s valued at a few tens of billions of dollars,” said Caleb Henry, a senior analyst at Quilty Analytics. “No one in this industry believes that it’s a one-system-take-all kind of environment. We expect to see at least two and probably more constellations go forward, serving not only the residential consumer, but any type of business or organization that relies on internet connectivity.”
An estimated 37% of the world’s population has still never used the internet, with 96% of those people living in developing countries, according to data from the International Telecommunication Union, a United Nations organization. And Amazon joins a list of tech giants, along with Facebook and Google, that have invested in developing digital infrastructure to support their own core services.
“Amazon is known as the everything company, and it’s hard to have an everything company without internet,” said Henry. “Amazon’s fastest-growing segment has been its AWS cloud service. And in support of that, they’ve built out a tremendous amount of internet infrastructure, whether it’s data centers or fiber.”
Henry said space is a “very natural expansion” of Amazon’s data business and its consumer business, “providing goods and electronics and resources to people around the world.”
Watch the video above to learn how Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellite internet service will compete with SpaceX’s Starlink, and why the e-commerce giant is positioned to deliver connectivity throughout the globe in the near future.

Can Amazon Compete With SpaceX In The Satellite Internet Business?

Nope, not gonna happen. Its all about the rocket, and SpaceX has a beast in the Falcon 9. Made about 130 successful launches, now launches once a week, put's up close to 60 starlinks at a time. Landed successfully on drone ships 60 to 70 times, A lot of first stage boosters have been reused up to 10 times a piece saving tons of money per launch. No other company or country is even in the ballgame. It's all about the science and engineering and SpaceX rules... Once they get the Starship up and running forget about it......
That's binary thinking: one or the other. And that never happens. Its about the space economy and market.
CNBC is not considering the technical side of the stuff... Hahahahahha
It has landed more than 100 times now.
The Musk fanboy who doesn't understand who controls your internet speed. It's not SpaceX. AT&T, Verizon, Charter and Comcast owns majority of the fiber in the country and dictates your internet connection.
@@zeitgeistx5239 Elon haters who don't understand SpaceX has a deal with both Google and Microsoft to provide internet.
SpaceX is not stopping. They already have plans for Starlink 2.0 with laser links, launched on Starship. Way cheaper and more powerful. So, even if Amazon manages to catch-up, SpaceX is still moving even forward.
Ueaaah go Jeff Bezos I bet I'll get to Space before you , Cheaper than you 100% live long and prosper!
wrong. there isn't one 2.0 sat in space.
@@montanaspring7176 There technically are lol. There are hundreds of Starlink 2.0 Minis in orbit right now. However the first Starlink 2.0 satellites are expected to be launched later this year
Competition is good, but SpaceX is the only company with a rapidly reusable rocket
Blue origin can't even launch rocket to orbit yet lol
This is still the very beginnings of space. Who knows what space companies will exist in 20 to 30 years from now. Spacex may not be on top of the game anymore. For now, though, Spacex is definitely in the lead. Just because you are the first, doesn't mean you will remain number one forever. But, Kudos to Spacex for their achievements.
"rapidly reusable"??
@@a55tech yes exactly that
sounds to me like they are just buying the contracts to placate ULA by offsetting the loss of revenue through late BE-4 engines
Here, let me answer that for you: No. Starlink will be complete before Amazon puts even one satellite into space, if they ever do. Saved you 12 minutes.
Thank you
Correction: spacex will go broke before they can complete starlink
@@upside_downside_sidewind highly probable...then again its owner just bought $44B worth of social media so i think he might do something about starlink before that don't ya think
@@upside_downside_sidewind Why will they? lol
@@nicolasnava5717 He didn't buy anything yet.
The fact that Amazon is depending on 3 different Launch Vehicles that have yet to clear the tower on their first launch is a huge risk. Especially when you consider the number of launches required. SpaceX is using the F9 which has averaged about 1-launch a week for 2022.
It's not a bigger risk, than using SpaceX.
@@akyhne Why? The F9 has demonstrated higher reliability than any previous US LV(100+ successful launches in a row) and has demonstrated quick turn around for booster re-use.
Dude, you don't throw away rockets. In fact I think it was a year or two ago when the last Soviet era rocket engine was used up.
Also, current research points to two types of rockets being used: Mini orbital rockets and heavy lift vehicles. Since neither are fully invented there will definitely be a mix of rockets used for many years.
@@SDGreg So what! Arianespace has a better launch history, with the Ariane 5, than SpaceX has with the Falcon 9. Just about the same number of launches, with fewer failures.
@@SDGreg And yet, SpaceX needs Starship in order to launch the next gen of satellites, the generation that will finally enable those satellites to talk to each other and not just the ground stations.
There is no race. Space X is building new, freshly designed rocket engines, to go in their new huge, reusable rocket, while launching, recovering and reusing their existing rockets. Who else is doing that?
MSNBC CRAP… All Amazon has to do is build a reusable rockets. MSNBC sucks. Blue origin shows no signs of launching anything that’s reusable. $10 Billion is no way near enough…
Lol.. They are not talking about the space race, it is about the Satellite Internet. I think Amazon has an advantage when it comes to service provider. But rooting for the SpaceX.
@@johnnykhai6674 The biggest expense is launching them. They don't have any rockets. And the launching is an ongoing huge expense.
what happens with the second stage? does it burn up?
A few mistakes in the video. Starlink has about 2800 working satellites and 600,000 customers. They expect to have over 1 million by winter 2023
I'm posting in September 23 and they now have over 2 million users. In my opinion this is going to be a case of first to market wins.
@@paulbailey1215Yup. And once Starship is operational, it’s truly game over.
July 2024, we're at ~ 3 million users.
I mean, it's easier to create ground stations than to launch your satellites with different rockets or even catch up with 2k+ SpaceX has already in space. Not to mention, Starlink also testing out Laser communication so it won't need a lot of ground station.
Bezos has no chance against Elon!
Oneweb is right to step aside from private customer and move to business/gov market. From the look of it, there's no way they could compete with SpaceX and Amazon who have virtually unlimited funding.
Crypto currency and NFTs will outsmart the banking system in the nearest future serving as a global fiat. $28,000 just in two weeks Mrs Angela Cole Carr you are so amazing

Bezo can't make it to orbit. Without the ability to make it to orbit they can't effectively compete. All 6th grade science students launch rockets that go up and parachutes down.
I never did that 😭

CNBS forgets to mention that SpaceX launches their own rockets themself, and has a great track-record of reusability.
CNBS forgot to mention Starlink was created by Elon Musk.
This Amazon guy is a lot more honest and likable than Jeff Who.
Caleb Henry, the guy they interviewed is a great analyst. Puts everything in perspective.
Yeah, I think I'd go with Starlink, even if Kuiper is cheaper. I don't need Scamazon deciding that I can't visit certain websites or shutting down more services that serve things Bezos disagrees with.
And that's what you would have with bezos company. I have FTH so I don't need satellite internet but it's great for rural people. I would definitely use Starlink.
If Kuiper is cheaper then it probably will be CHEAPER, as made in CCP China and not well made or reliable. Jeff isn’t known for making great anything, he just a rich salesman, all talk and cheap marketing. Elon is a hands on maker, invested in his projects and he keeps in touch with as much as he can. I’m glad he had time to take his Mum to the Met …. He’s a good boy !
LoL ekon stan 🤡, u think as if Elon & his shareholders will do something that Bezos won't do. 8$ job copium one aren't you huh.
@@chrisbraid2907 Here we are a year later and this praise of Elon as a smart hands on guy has aged like warm milk. Turns out Elon has come out as a full blown Nazi who spends most of his day trolling and censoring the few good people left on twitter. He is by far, the biggest, dumbest disappointment ever.
2,3,10 times - a year? Verses about 2 times a week for SpaceX?
No contest.
Did we think Tiktok could challenge Facebook? Or Disney Plus with Netflix? Things could change going into the 30's and 2040's
@@doggo2995 Yea thats internet company's that mainly needed coders servers and are based on popularity of its content not efficiency or tech. We are talking literal rocket science here.
@@RasakBlood very true
has ULA managed to drop its launch price yet? last i heard (a few years ago now i'll admit) they were still 3 or 4 times to price of a spaceX falcon9. If thats still the norm then thats going to have a big hit on prices or diving into cash reserves
I think that Bezos should swallow his pride and go with cheaper launch providers like SpaceX.
@@TehPoet You think Space-X will launch satellites for a competitor 🤣. It is same reason Google Fiber never took off. As soon as AT&T found out why Google was asking to rent thier Phone poles to string fiber they said no we can do that too. That forced Google to install thier own poles or go underground, both being cost prohibitive.
@@mikevars8979 I'm not convinced SpaceX will see Amazons project Keiper as much of a threat, either way there's space for multiple operators in the industry so I suspect they'd take the money. Until blue origin gets cost competitive with SpaceX (if ever), Starlink will always be cheaper IMO. They already have a huge head start.
@@TehPoet SpaceX is overbooked for a long time
@@mikevars8979 Even SpaceX wouldn't leave a 6 to billion dollar deal on the table because of competition. Understand the space market dynamics
One year later ... zero satellites deployed.
Honestly - wouldn't trust Amazon with my raw web traffic. It is bad enough that so many services use AWS.
Ad block. Get one.

@@UnCoolDad I followed the Eero router for 3 years, from 16-19 years old, with intent on getting one. My desires passed when they bought the company. I wholly understand.
lol. what an uninformed comment. AWS has nothing to do with your data. it's the clients of AWS that has something to do with your data. AWS is just a infrastructure that these other companies/individuals use to run their services and applications.
@@iamwisdomsky it is Amazons infrastructure. They have full access to everything.
Short Answer: No.
No public company on earth is competitive with SpaceX. Satellites require a launch into orbit. Amazon/Blue Origin has NOT had a single test flight with the New Glenn rocket. The SpaceX Starship is 100% reusable, has a larger payload capacity, and will have a far cheaper "pound to orbit" cost than any other launch company (public or state owned) on earth.

Cringeworthy Elon stans, geez might well polish the boots

Great video for "when" they get satellites in space.
Thanks CNBC for the information
Amazon has no place giving blue origin a contract for any launches, how is this not being taken to court by Amazon shareholders? Amazon should be going with SpaceX for the launches.
Two different legal entities.
And now they’re going with SpaceX because of a lawsuit! Lol
-Talk about the user terminals costing $1'300 each
-Show the new user terminal which is now half the cost
What a joke.
Exactly! I can't believe the amount of cherry picking
Amazon prime with this service will be huge.
Sounds like a bot wrote this
Yes it can host satelite internet and TV services soon for remote locations as well
It is very realistic to compare something that exists with something that does not :)
By disturbing satellite signal from a weak earth signal , resulting from shifting satellite communication from channel to channel to creating o and 1 is it possible to attain reliable connection between satellite and ordinary mobile phones ?.
Thanks for this insightful video comparison between these two amazing companies. Well worth watching, not to mention there're my favourite companies!
Anyone else got triggered by the constant mispronunciation of Ariane Space?
Can enough people who Jeff is targeting afford the monthly subscription to make this profitable?
Nice video.
It's the phone to Satellite service that Motorola developed years ago that is the holy grail. Phones would not require a Cel provider. All phones would be VOIP and connected to the internet. The monthly fee would be or could be less allowing more users. The phones would work anywhere, unlike a cel phone.
I have my doubts, unless the laser link brings huge bandwidth with it which is still very new tech. The bandwidth is still not there and i think they need a crazy amount of satellite just to keep the network replenished, maybe Starship but that thing has extreme engineering challenges ahead of it
We are getting same speed internet from spectrum for $60 per month. It may be good for village and remote area where regular internet providers can't provide service.
Madison Square Space… 🎇 🎆
Blue Origin hasn't even reach orbit. Enough said.
Oooof that hurt.
Fascinating. Great video
While I like my Starlink, if Amazon shows up with a lower priced solution I'll look at switching. I'm in a very rural part of Montana that has no internet and no cell phone service, so until Starlink showed up there was no viable solutions (ViaSat/Hughes are too clunky).
Musk will just lower his prices to blow Bezos out.. Bezos cannot compete
like all things, prices will decline in time.
I live in Montana having Zero intentions using any Amazon stuff where 80% is Manufactured in China
@@jenpaulcummins1122 dude almost everything you buy is made in china. Grow up. The phone your or lab top your typing on was probably made in china
Ultimately one is a better human being and the other is Dr. Evil. Take your pick.
Amazon needs to bow out😊
bezos space ambitions compare to spacex as a toddler to a grownup man. not a chance to compete. bezos' neediness to copy elon is soo cringy...
Amazon can't compete they can't even launch into space. SpaceX Starlink works because they can get up into space cheaper.
Amazon doesn't build rockets. They don't have to compete.
They also don't have to send a ludicrous amount of satellites in orbit, like Starlink. So I'd say Amazon has a better chance of success.
That of course depends on the service they will provide, and at what cost.
@@akyhne what are you talking about? They do build rockets they have their own space company Blue Origin its just that they failed to do build a successful rocket. The only way project Kuiper succeeds is if Blue Origin is able to compete to send up satellites. But if Starlink is the only game in town that can do it faster and cheaper then nobody can compete besides like Governments that are willing to take on losses. Project Kuiper has been around for a while and they have to launch any satellites and have no definitive dates to do so. Meanwhile Starlink is launching close to 50 a month and he'll be able to launch more when SpaceX starship is complete.
@@NPAMike Amazon and BO are two different companies. BO does have a successfull rocket, just not for satellite launches... yet. And there are customers for both - more customers, than Starlink can handle.
Wheter one or the other is cheaper, only time can tell. You can bet on, that Amazon don't start this project, if they can't compete on price and service.
"He" doesn't have a working Starship. So until "he" can stop blowing up his prototypes, it's a concept only.
@@akyhne Blue Origin and Kuiper is practically one in the same they are both owned by Bezos and Starlink doesn't need Starship because the Falcon 9 has already been deploying Satellites. Starship would increase their capacity to send up more. Even if Starship never launches Falcon 9 will still be available. Where as Kuiper can't even get a working satellite in space.
@@akyhne Which BO's "successfull rocket" are you talking about?
The only way for them to get a lot of customers is to make it work with cell phones.
This would be the realm of local providers using satellite internet as backhaul in lieu of dedicated network connectivity back to the internet as a whole. There is no way for mobile phones to be effective in connecting to the satellite and maintaining the type of connection needed to stream video from the internet.
@@DonFanningThe I just want to have the ability to text when I'm outside of cell tower coverage. That would be super useful.
@@djp1234 It's been possible to do that for a long time. Buy a Iridium or Globalstar networked phone. :P

AMAZING 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Why wouldn't it make more sense to tie up with Spacex & launch as soon as possible?
Bigger satellite neds bigger rocket, for Amazon to launch with falcon9 will need 150 launches in the next three years not 84 like with those bigger launching vehicles that they chooses, and probably SpaceX cannot do that in top of their own starlink and other comercial launches.
Pricing, maybe?
If SpaceX wants to make money on their rockets, they have two choices:
Charge the same price for Starlink, as other costumers.
Overcharge other companies, to get cheap launches for Starlink.
@@theOrionsarms Okay. So these launch vehicles are bigger than falcon 9, what about the cost, isn't it cheaper?
@@raviachoudhary for the Vulcan Centaur and Ariane6 price per kg into LEO is around the same (to falcon9 I mean) , for New Glenn I have no idea , but the main point is that only with falcon9 and heavy SpaceX cannot satisfy entire demands for new satellites launch, unless they can launch 100 times per year at least.
Spacex is flying circles around these fools.
Caveat: This is also how Amazon can reduce their tax burden. We don't tax the construction of job producing infrastructure, which was how Amazon's soaring growth allowed them to get out of taxes. But since that dried up and they started paying last year, this is Mr Bezos new high growth project.
Which I think is ok, if they pay that money in taxes, no innovation would be done by the government. The issus with tax reduction is when that money is used only to by luxuries (which I understand Bezos does, don't get me wrong, but innovation outstands)
there are fifty codes in the federal budget that money gets put into...if you can get access to that you have an idea of the money but basically they were smart to create these space companies to get that money.
@@LennarthAnaya that doesn't stop the torrent of bogus tax fraud allegations...
@@LennarthAnaya Dude NASA got to the moon, remember? The government can fund innovation, when it decides to. But it tends to only do what benefits the rich, same with Amazon and SpaceX. They may bring satellite internet to rural places but only because it makes them even richer
@@ThomasBomb45 right, I don't trust any of them, it's nice somehow they decide to innovate rather than buying more land and yachtes polluting oceans
Can’t believe he said Ariane Spaasss😂🚀
Amazon has to pay a lot of money to other companies to launch their satellites. SpaceX can launch their own which saves a huge amount of money.
Amazon is quite a few years away from being able to launch their own with Blue Origin. The CEO Bob Smith of Blue Origin is clueless and incompetent. He's a professional micromanager who does not know how to get orbital rockets built.
He didn't even bother to try and scale up the design of New Shepherd for a temporary fix until New Glen is ready, which is many years from now.
Bezos can go ahead and live his luxurious lifestyle and leave everything to Bob Smith, instead of getting in there and pushing everything to produce viable rockets, and everything will continue as it is with bleeding money and accomplishing nothing, except flying movie stars on the short sub orbital flights in that little toy that they have.
They should be well ahead of SpaceX yet they are not even in 3rd place. Way to Bob. Usually people that arrogant have big accomplishments.
At Jeff'y pace , we should see this after he catches an asteroid.
AWS provides direct connect
1:38 UHRIANSPARSE, thanks space reporter
Its Arianespace, as in "SPACE".
This might be a stupid question. Can we engineer these satellites to reflect more sunlight back into space to combat climate change?
they do that already, as the solar panels are oriented to catch as much sunlight as possible :).
How many satellites do you think are going up? Here is a demonstration: grab a pin, the little pointy thing, and hold it up over your head. How much shade is that? Extrapolate.
3:04 his eye 👁
Will these satellites allow us to call anywhere on the planet or use the internet on our phones anywhere on the planet?
Remember like Elon said, Bezo can't get it up. Simple and to the point.
I understand completely why they should compete...$$$
But why not combine strenghts and help humanity forward in space?
Space only has room for one of those egos.
Though SpaceX had a tremendous leap but for consumers competition is good. I hope they succeed in my lifetime.
Indeed, the problem is that it has no competition.
Amazon is a 'me too' company, and their deliveries are often missing something that I ordered.
It is good to have competition and alternative.
The thumbnail is misleading. It needs a more phallic shape
Google Fiber is hardly offered anywhere
Literally anything I can to do use a Musk company over a Bezos company, I will do.

JEFF WHO?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is made wrong. Each satelite need to be a server, a giant router and a giant solar battery. Should work with the same wireless antenas that still exist, only a simple log-in like always. And the bill? Two or three dollars a month. Every 8 billion people could afford.
Free with Prime.
Prime prices triple.
Amazon explained that accessing their hosted web services would be faster (for obvious reason) It could change Net Neutrality and incentivise hosting with Amazon.
I don’t think that’s a good thing, even if it is an innocent byproduct.
Why don't you do that 30% of the world a favour and don't give them internet. You'll be surprised how happy some of these people are living a simpler life. Social media jealousy is a problem in the first world countries.
What click bait, there is no rivalry between Mr"never been to space". And the WORLD leader in space flight.
SpaceX gave its system a name that evokes connecting with the sky. Amazon names its constellation after a ring of asteroid debris.
Regardless they will both be debris in the sky
@@Kushert Nope. It’s only a problem if people stupidly continue launching anti-satellite missiles at them. Otherwise, it’s fine.
It's not a ring as the average distance between objects is about a big as Earth is from the sun. It does refer to the remote and unexplored as most objects there are undiscovered, but we know something is out there because of gravity weirdness.
@@regolith1350 you do know that Keplar Syndrome is a thing, right?
@@regolith1350 they already had some fall.
CNBC TOTALLY failed to mention the space-junk-problem & the wastage of FINITE fossil resources. Those mini-satellites last only ~ five years (& consequently would have to be replaced in equal intervals)!
These small satellites is much closer to ground in low-Earth orbit(that's why they need a big constellation). They will de-orbited quickly and burnt in air. They can be de-orbited actively by ion-thruster which equipped on them.
SpaceJunk from the launches for higher orbit is much more than that. So, don't be confused
110 dollars a month is way too much for most people living in the developing world..so good luck with that
They can buy and and share by wireless network. 100Mbps is big enough for 6 households with serving 20-40 people in normal usage.
Do you know Vietnamese ISP charges over $700 for 25Mbps international bandwidth(domestic bandwith is big but only for domestic service). Those places is not developing cities at all. They are developed cities.
So, for many rural areas/developing cities, it's huge deal without infrastructure for it.
Fiber + 5G for urban areas. Satellite everywhere else
Amazon/BO is so far back that they will make it way more cheap than starlink.
Then i don't see BO producing a working rocket anytime soon.
And ULA depends on the engine from BO that does not work ... and might take a long time to be usable.
If only Amazon selects a Indian CEO
Let’s hope this turns into a US/USSR style space race! Nothing like competition to accelerate progress!
I read about a man in his 50s that started investing in stocks then retired in 2years with over $6million, that right there is my utmost goal and I'd really appreciate clues and tips on how to reach this goal within 5years

I have my doubts about Starlink, the laser communication tech is still new, satellites and receivers both coast so much. And due to there orbit the amount of satellites needed to replenish the network.
That's SpaceX we are talking about who brought down the launch cost and first time reuse rockets which nobody believed at that time. They are impossible. So don't doubt them, admire them. They can do it, just chill and enjoy.
@@md.raselhasan2179 actually from there numbers a new rocket launch is 60m while used is 50 mil, reusing saves about 10% from what i have seen, landing rockets was done on the moon and Mars, the have innovated and the projects r great but to me this seems like a wast of money that could have gone into something better like starship.
@@azargelin That is what they are selling the reused rockets rides for. Because they are already the cheapest ride to space. What it cost spacex on the other hand is an entire different thing. Not to mention that they sell every relaunch for the same when they reuse up to 10 times. And starship is already going as fast as it can. Money helps but only to a point when you are in the development stage.
Are your doubts based on your feelings? Because they don’t matter. I use starlink and it’s light years ahead of every alternative combined.
@@noobtoob7733 no there based on working years in telecommunications industry and building several large networks
Not everyone uses AWS so the guy isn't 100% right but only 20% willing to tell real truth.

.... and the cost.
Even Blue Origin and Amazon would have to have a mark up between them. (If they actually flew anything to orbit…)

and the other question is can they get to orbit? they can, but the question is When.
About 2030.
Where are my engines, Jeff?
oct-06-2024: SpaceX > 6300 satellite in orbit and SpaceX is launching to orbit more than 44 satellite every single week, amazon 2 satellite in orbit
Sorry, but Elon is light years ahead. He’s got the advantage of having the most advanced rockets and the most advanced satellites. Amazon might be competitive, but SpaceX is the Apple of satellite internet technology.
When rich people complete, we win!
why thousands of satellites for only america and some countries in europe?
any satellite internet service that doesn't use geostationary satellites will require thousands of satellites regardless of geographical location.
It sounds like an expensive PR campaign than a project.
less talking heads could make these better
SpaceX! Way better
There is no competition
We need more than a duopoly up there, we cannot let them geolock plans. What you buy should work globally and not cost extra to do so.
We dont need them at all!Its a waste of money and will never be profitable!
It's not about money it's about global power.
