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.
