Regulators Are Ignoring How Low Orbit Satellite Broadband Is Trashing The Night Sky Techdirt.

As previously noted, Space X, Amazon, and others are pushing harder than ever into the low-orbit satellite broadband game. The industry, pockmarked by a long road of failures, involves firing thousands of smaller, cheaper, lower orbit satellite constellations into space to help supplement existing broadband services.
