It feels like Amazon interest is more because Blue Origin needed the workloads rather than Amazon was really keen by itself.
Although they are now planning to launch the first sats with other providers, they seemed content to wait for BO despite the progress oneWeb and starlink were making.
Google loon , fibre and were really hobby/limited projects without any real serious intent to take it to scale.
Google invested a $ 1 Billion in one of its investment rounds in SpaceX partly to get starlink going . So they are still pooling resources in some sense, just not directly doing it.
Facebook project seemed to get not get anywhere due to the backlash on limited access to only 100 sites etc. They did recently invest in indian teleco Reliance Jio, so perhaps they are doing something still.
