Amazon has received authorization from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to proceed with Project Kuiper, its initiative to launch a fleet of low-orbiting satellites that would be used to provide broadband internet access to underserved communities in the U.S.

The FCC approved of the tech giant's ambitious project by a vote of 5-0 on Thursday.

With the commission's green light, Amazon will now be able to begin the deployment of its 3,236 satellites.
