I mean maybe this is the push they need to actually spend the cash and get one up in space that is away from natural interferences as well?

Sucks for the home radio Astro guy, but they have the solution, have had for a long time.

If we had the money, there's no legal repercussions to going up there and deorbiting the satellites right? Maybe install a defense platform to shoot down any more from spacex, oneweb or whoever else tries putting them up.

Starlink, isn't that the planetwide wi-fi initiative? Do they need those emissions to function? Other than the fact that it's from a corporation, it seems to me that internet connectivity across the whole planet would be more valuable to humanity as a whole than clearer views of space on one invisible part of the spectrum (which they can still watch from space if it's that important.)

Though the competition between multiple corps trying to launch satellites doesn't seem good, and it'd be nice if some FOSS initiative and/or intergovernment collaboration were to step in and make it one set of satellites free for everyone.

Science cannot get in the way of profits!

And also how does space law work? If you launched a predator satellite that starts taking these out, again, launched from international waters, is that, like, illegal? Considering they're a private company?
