So putting a satellite in orbit costs about (5000$ per kilogram)[https://spacenexus.us/learn/satellite-launch-cost]. Let's say amazon can do it for 4000$. Taking Star Link's satellites as a comparison, the v1.0 satellite weights about 260kg, let's say those guy can do it with 200kg. 200kg * 5000$/kg.
