They have like 20 satellites.

Yeah.

So this ends up being an interesting part of this deal is that Amazon and Apple, which was an investor in GlobalStar, now have a deal by which Amazon is going to provide satellite internet to various Apple devices.

That's pretty interesting.

But I think the bigger picture here is Amazon is very clearly trying to sort of build a spring for its Leo satellite business.

Amazon has been at this for a while.

First, it was called Project Kuiper.

Now it's Leo.

It is trying to build a Starlink-sized internet satellite business.

Fine.

I get why you would do this if you want to jumpstart that.

It makes sense.

I have spent a lot of time reading about this.

This is a big deal for Amazon.

They spent more than $11 billion on it.

I think there's some regulatory questions about whether this deal will get through, but I find myself increasingly wondering...

Who cares about satellite internet?

We talk a lot about this with iPhones and stuff.

And as a backup communications tool, I think it's really interesting.

Apple made a big deal out of it with the Apple Watch Ultra.
