Amazon’s Kuiper is usually compared with SpaceX’s Starlink. However, that comparison discounts Amazon’s primary business and the possible other ways the company makes money off the internet.
If you are asking, you have no real knowledge on Kuiper, no real looking into their math, and I think are making huge mistake in equating "space math" with other prior AMZN ventures. To wit, spending 80% of the money to get the last 20% of the world who presently doesnt have real access to spend money on AMZN is ..NOT going to be a business model that "takes." Whether its "infrastructure" or retail, the tail is just not that valuable. In theory, IF they can make it work, the only thing Musk and Amazon offer is "better" LEO business model than those who do not combine launch capability and service.
