Taiwan in talks to tap Amazon's Project Kuiper space broadband

 Elon Musk has denied that Starlink denies service serve Taiwan due to
pressure from China or Russia - a theory advanced as Beijing has
allowed his electric carmaker Tesla unusually favorable operating
conditions. US senator Richard Blumenthal, however, has suggested
those links represent a national security risk to the US.

Like most islands, Taiwan relies on submarine cables ' and they're
vulnerable to outages that can take weeks to fix. Taiwan has recent
experience of just such isolation: in 2023 cables connecting outlying
islands just 50km from China were damaged. Taiwanese authorities also
claim China has attacked its digital infrastructure.

Taiwan also fears China targeting the cables that connect it - a
plausible scenario given the West relies on Taiwan for semiconductors
and other high-tech products. Beijing knows that disrupting Taiwan's
internet would almost certainly hurt its economy and, by extension,
pose a problem for its trading partners.

Securing a satellite broadband partner therefore makes a lot of sense.
