How does Kuiper's technological approach compare to that of Starlink, and what are the key advantages and disadvantages of each?

Kuiper's low-earth orbit architecture, using numerous smaller satellites, enables faster data transmission and broader coverage than traditional satellite internet. This contrasts with Starlink's already extensive network (over 6,750 satellites) and its established use in disaster relief efforts (Morocco earthquake, Los Angeles fires, Ukraine conflict). Amazon aims for global coverage, including remote and war-torn areas.
