LEO shouldn't be some billionaire playground to make even more money. The Kessler syndrome is a very real threat to our future

So we just shouldn't have high speed sattelite internet for people in rural areas or disaster areas because some people make money from it?

Or they should only be there if a government runs the sattelite? Because that wouldn't change the effect they have on telescopes.
