Amazon is reportedly negotiating to acquire Globalstar, a satellite communications provider valued at $9 billion. This move aims to compete with SpaceX’s Starlink, which has dominated the satellite internet market. Additionally, Globalstar's infrastructure underpins Apple's Emergency SOS via Satellite feature on the iPhone and Apple Watch, further complicating the acquisition landscape given Apple's existing stake in Globalstar.
