NTT and SKY Perfect JSAT said they plan to distribute Kuiper connectivity services to enterprises and government organizations in Japan. The companies also plan to use Kuiper to provide their customers with new connectivity options to build out resilient, redundant communications networks. NTT DoCoMo in turn aims to use Kuiper to connect rural and hard-to-reach parts of Japan to its core telecom network "without the time and expense required to build out fiber and fixed wireless infrastructure." Amazon has yet to launch any satellites, so delivering access is unlikely before 2024. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has granted Kuiper permission to deploy its LEO constellation of 3,236 satellites. Several communications service providers (CSPs) are linking up with satellite service providers to solve backhaul and rural connectivity challenges.
