Listen. Right now we're providing broadband connectivity services across all of Canada, and we've been doing that for a long time.
We have more capacity and ability to expand services in almost all the communities we're serving today. We're working with government at the federal, provincial and territorial levels. We're working with other ISPs and phone companies throughout Canada to open up those pipes.
That's something we can do, again, very quickly. We have proposals out there that would allow us to do all of that. We can make significant improvements, then, in the type of broadband capacity that almost all of these communities have in the coming months.
Sometimes it will take a little longer. We have to ship equipment up to the Far North, and depending whether we're hitting the sealift schedules and whatnot, that becomes the gating factor to getting the capacity out there.
As far as ramping up our LEO constellation is concerned, I expect we'll be making some announcements in the coming weeks about who's going to be building those satellites and who's going to be launching them. We're going to put the pedal to the metal on that program. I mentioned that these satellites are, in all likelihood, going to be built in Canada. We need to get going on it. We're about nine months behind where we wanted to be. COVID didn't help for that.
Am I worried about SpaceX? I'm worried about a lot of things in life. As I mentioned, we're in a massively competitive global environment. I have a super-high regard for SpaceX. They've been a great partner for us. They're one of the most innovative companies in the world.
Look. I applaud what they're doing. They are innovating. I'll say they're getting a massive amount of support from the U.S. government to develop the technology, whether it's rockets or satellites. Good on 'em.
Yes, I'm worried about being able to compete with SpaceX. I'm worried about our ability to compete with Amazon when they come along. It's one of the biggest companies in the world. Certainly, as I mentioned in my testimony, the Russians and the Chinese have their own plans. However, as I also mentioned, we have a great plan. We just need to get going on this. I'm very confident we're going to be successful.
