Virgin Orbit can put things into space, although very low payload - you might have enough capacity to put one oneweb satelite into orbit at a time -- wikipedia says 500kg to 500km, Oneweb are 150kg at 1200km.

If 1 Satellite per launch, that would be 220 launched on LauncherOne at a cost of $2.6b (wikipedia costs), if Virgin Orbital could scale quickly enough (and if it can get 150kg to 1200km)
