Australians in rural and remote areas are expected to receive an internet upgrade through a new partnership between Amazon’s Project Kuiper and the National Broadband Network (NBN).

The agreement will see Kuiper’s advanced low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite technology gradually replace the decade-old Sky Muster service beginning mid-2026.
