Per the article that 500/week is reduced to only the incidents with non-Starlink satellites. Assuming the article is presenting apples-to-apples, then the 80/week for OneWeb should correspond to that 500/week for Starlink.
Starlink's total with their own satellites as well was 1600.
It's also worth noting that Starlink/SpaceX does coordinate with other satellite operators, it's their responsibility to do so.
I was actually working on an edit when I saw your reply and decided to put it here instead.
EDIT:
Reread a section of the article:
> OneWeb, by comparison, currently has 250 satellites and passes another operators’ satellite 80 times per week.
So yes, I've made an apples-to-apples comparison here. We don't know OneWeb's total incident count from this article alone and I'm insufficiently motivated to track down that statistic.
