This was exactly what I was thinking. Space is big and we don't use it as much as we should. Let's fix that instead of taking the Internet from people who need it.

As if millions of people around the world are benefiting from low cost satellite internet.
Space should be open for all - nobody should be able to restrict vision. I won't be surprised if we have to use weaponry to remove these satellites in the future. Space boundaries will be a hot topic in the future.

Weaponry doesn't remove a satellite. It turns one satellite into 1000.

Do you have any numbers? I don't, but in my country of 11 million people, the dictatorship got scared last week of popular protests and cut out the Internet for everybody. How I wish they didn't have that power.
