SpaceX has the most internet-beaming satellites in its constellation, but the competition is coming, and now Jeff Bezos’ space company, Blue Origin, has announced the TeraWave network. It says TeraWave will offer bandwidth of up to 6Tb available anywhere on Earth, for both upload and download.
The only wrinkle? Even after satellite deployments are scheduled to start near the end of 2027, you probably won’t be able to connect directly. That’s by design, as former Amazon Alexa boss and current Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp said in a post that it’s “purpose-built for enterprise customers.”
Blue Origin’s network has a “multi-orbit” design of 5,408 optically connected satellites. While most of them will be in low-Earth orbit and connect to customers on the ground via regular wireless connections at up to 144Gbps, it will also have 128 satellites in medium-Earth orbit that offer the possibility of 6Tb bidirectional connections.
However, unlike Starlink and Amazon’s fledgling Leo satellite internet network, the company is planning to connect a maximum of about 100,000 customers, not millions, with plans to target “tens of thousands of enterprise, data center, and government users who require reliable connectivity for critical operations.” At the moment, Amazon is also looking at the enterprise sector with its Leo Ultra antennas that promise 1Gbps downloads and 400Mbps uploads, while Starlink is looking to roll out gigabit speeds this year.

![Believe It: ‘Naruto’ Gets In On the Anime Trading Card Game Craze
The Naruto anime turns 25 next year, and to mark the occasion, it’s getting a new trading card game. Developed by Bandai Card Games, the TCG will be a strategy-focused experience for the competitive-minded folk. Along with the big anniversary milestone, this’ll be the franchise’s first dip into the trading card waters since the early 2010s. Since then, Bandai’s been gradually putting out similar games for popular shonen like Digimon, One Piece, and Dragon Ball. As a member of the Big Three and important to shonen culture, it makes sense Naruto gets a fresh game. In a brief statement, Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto expressed joy at his franchise “growing larger once again. I truly hope these cards find their way to both their hands and your hearts.” Kishimoto also drew artwork for the TCG featuring the teen versions of Boruto’s dad and his longtime best bud Sasuke Uchiha, and they’re the stars of the trailer below. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MefaL2fKvzk[/embed] Bandai’s keeping mum for now on how Naruto Card Game plays or even what characters will be in it. Details will be revealed at Gen Con Indy, where attendees will also get to play it for themselves. The annual tabletop game convention runs from July 30-August 2 this year, and playtests will run during the whole event. Each one-hour session is free, and you can get tickets here. If you can’t make it, then you’ll surely see more of it before the TCG hits stores in 2027. It’s probably not the only thing being cooked up to honor the anime—after all, Pierrot never did release those four brand-new episodes to celebrate the 20th anniversary. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what’s next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who. #Naruto #Anime #Trading #Card #Game #CrazeBandai,Naruto,Trading Cards Believe It: ‘Naruto’ Gets In On the Anime Trading Card Game Craze
