It would either be included in their current subscription or cost $10 a month, The Verge reports.

However, Amazon spokesperson Bradley Mattinger denied plans to add mobile connectivity to Prime.

We are always exploring adding even more benefits for Prime members, but don’t have plans to add wireless at this time, Bradley Mattinger, Amazon spokesperson, via statement.

According to 'Bloomberg,' Amazon hasn't yet confirmed the project because the endeavor could take months to facilitate or may be abandoned entirely.

The news comes as Prime subscriber growth has reportedly dwindled.

Subscription fees were recently increased from $119 to $139.

Competitors such as Walmart have also likely affected the number of Prime subscriptions.

Walmart's $98 subscription service added Paramount Plus access to its roster last year.

The Verge reports that Amazon is also in the process of developing Project Kuiper, a satellite internet service that will potentially be available in 2024
