On April 28, Amazon’s Project Kuiper launched an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida and sent 27 satellites into low Earth orbit. The ground personnel rapidly established contact with the satellites. It was the first of a series of planned launches to an altitude of 280 miles, working toward a future constellation of 3,200 satellites beaming broadband service worldwide with extremely low latency. The hope is to give Starlink some competition.

Several electric cooperatives have established broadband services for their members in recent years, so much so that many of the current broadband construction projects in progress aim to expand on existing services. That is one of the findings in the Rural Broadband Benchmarking Report, the latest of a series of reports from NRTC and NRECA that track broadband business trends among electric co-ops.  The report is a refresh, updating a previous report published in 2022.
