Amazon's Kuiper satellites launched! Too little too late?

We finally saw the first batch of Amazon's Kuiper satellites launch on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket on April 28, long delayed from the original 2024 date. With only 27 sats launched in its planned 3,236 constellation and a collection of launch delays and production delays, Amazon customers should not expect to see internet service begin anytime soon. That said, these delays should not disrupt Kuiper's long-term business strategy. Demand for LEO internet is hot and will continue to climb.
