Extreme Tech They do not have any satellites in orbit that I know about

The article is about their antenna design that should yield better bandwidth than Starlink. It also answers the question about Amazon's satellite network -- they have no published timeline for launching it.
Moving beyond the prototype phase will be no easy feat. Last summer, Amazon got FCC approval to launch 3,236 low-Earth orbit satellites for Project Kuiper. SpaceX, meanwhile, is already closing in on 1,000 thanks to its easy access to Falcon 9 rockets. Amazon hasn’t announced a timeline for launching its satellite constellation, but its regulatory approval calls for the full network to be operational by 2029. Amazon would need just 578 satellites to begin offering service, it claims. Perhaps Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin space firm can help with that.
