So you're straight up saying that because the regulation of US telco companies is ineffective and/or corrupt, the entire planet should pay for it? That's your argument? Please tell me that's not your argument.

The entire planet won't pay for it, and observations will move above the Starlink constellation to space telescopes anyway.
