      As in there’s only so much air space and it’s already crowded…

      It’s needs regulated, letting any company throw whatever they want up there is fucking stupid.

      Name any point in human history when letting companies do whatever the fuck they want in an area hasn’t fucked over the majority of people.

      as in the only high bandwidth communications network capable of doing things like this. starlink is this little thing called a monopoly and that is what caused this situation…

        Turns out it’s not very easy to just dump a ton of satellites and pop out a new network whenever you want.

          Seriously, the Starlink and Falcon 9 production is unlike anything else. Amazon and China will try to copy it, but it’ll take them way more time and money.
