澳大利亚在2026年之前转而使用亚马逊的Kuiper卫星, Australia to switch to Amazon’s Kuiper satellites by 2026 for better rural internet, raising sovereignty and reliability concerns.

澳大利亚将以亚马逊项目的Kuiper低地轨道卫星取代其SkyMuster卫星互联网,发射2026年年中,以加快偏远地区的速度和接入。 Australia will replace its SkyMuster satellite internet with Amazon’s Project Kuiper low-earth orbit satellites, launching mid-2026, to boost speeds and access in remote areas. 尽管升级有望改善连通性,但人们对依赖亚马逊和Starlink等以美国为基地的供应商越来越感到关切,这增加了国家主权、数据隐私和紧急服务可靠性的风险。 While the upgrade promises better connectivity, concerns grow over reliance on U.S.-based providers like Amazon and Starlink, raising risks to national sovereignty, data privacy, and emergency service reliability. 目前的卫星紧急呼叫(三联零)仅限于文字,过去外国运营商中断电话的情况突出显示了脆弱性。 Current satellite emergency calls (triple zero) are limited to text, and past disruptions by foreign operators highlight vulnerabilities. 虽然NBN公司的目标是在澳大利亚境内保持数据流通以保护主权,但由于对国际网络的控制有限,长期服务稳定性仍然不确定。 Though NBN Co aims to keep data traffic within Australia to protect sovereignty, long-term service stability remains uncertain due to limited control over international networks.
