China's about to launch their own sattelite internet, unfortunately.
they'll probably launch more satellites than SpaceX.
good luck regulating that.

We could… just hear this out. We could stop buying everything from china and literally make every single person on this planet a part of their economy.
I hear it, but it aint happenin.
Did not happen to the USA, don't see why it would happen to China
countries actually took the first practical steps toward this, but Indian manufacturing capacity is relatively minimal and their poor standards and regulations keep introducing contaminants into the production line, including with medicine.
Much more importantly, did you consider that we need to make billionaires more billions?
They are desperate for their billions. We can't take that away from them.
No, cool the planet via Kessler Syndrome.
What will that look like in the sky? I saw a starlink cluster pass over me last year. It was stunning to see in person, but if it was like that all the time you'd never be able to see the stars.
If you saw a cluster then you saw a new deployment. They become less visible as they raise to their final orbit and change orientation.
The bigger problem is rumblings about how much aluminum dust their disintegration causes when they are deorbited and how much greenhouse effect that could cause. Probably not enough to make a difference but it's. Something to consider and mitigate as much as possible.
