Today, Chris Weber, Amazon’s vice president in charge of LEO, has just announced that more than 390 LEO satellites have already been deployed, which is apparently enough “to support continued service in early latitudes.”

He further added that the company has already completed “substantial launches for the initial service this year,” hinting strongly at the fact that Amazon plans to make Leo generally available as a service before the end of 2026.
