Connectivity from Space: The Next Generation of Global Internet

Episode notes

What does it take to bring world-class connectivity to the billions of people and businesses that have never had reliable access? Tom Soderstrom, AWS Executive in Residence, and Chris Weber, VP of Business at Amazon Leo, share how Amazon Leo (f ormerly known as Project Kuiper ) is building toward that vision one launch at a time, with over 200 satellites in orbit since this conversation took place in December 2025. Soderstrom and Weber discuss what sets Amazon Leo apart, from gigabit downlink speeds and private connectivity that never touches the public internet, to a customer-obsessed approach to service, support, and partnerships. This episode offers a compelling look at the technology, partnerships, and customer obsession driving Amazon Leo forward, and the global impact it stands to make along the way.
