Eventually someone somewhere will decide these LEO satellites are used for the military against their own sovereign countries and will have to start destroying them. We will end up with a graveyard in space where fragments will make it difficult to continue any space activities.

For those unaware there's currently a bubble of startup space companies going after similar contracts and while a part of me wants them all to be successful, it's nice to know at least some of these contracts are going to established companies who will do a good job. A space-based wireless network for the DoW will basically be a more secure starlink and it's good in my mind that a company with experience got the contract.
