Amazon Leo's satellite homework is late, but FCC won't flunk it just yet

Amazon missed its July 30, 2026 deadline to deploy half of its 3,236-satellite Leo constellation. The FCC granted a waiver allowing Amazon to retain priority spectrum access for some satellites but requires full deployment by July 30, 2029. The waiver comes with reduced priority status for satellites not operational by the 2026 deadline.
