What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Elon Musk renews criticism of Delta after it chose Amazon Leo over Starlink for in-flight WiFi. Leo's network is smaller today but aims to scale with JetBlue next year and Delta by 2028. The rivalry could shape AMZN's underappreciated revenue potential from Leo if airline adoption accelerates.
JetBlue starts with Leo next year; Delta 2028 rollout.
Delta says Leo cheaper; Starlink bandwidth costs higher.
United has Starlink on 400 planes; American starts early next year.
