If all these satellites are not in synchronous orbit (where they effectively stay relatively stationary to points on earth, with a little station keeping rocket bursts for keeping them in their assigned position) then they effectively are all moving relative to the earth’s surface.

Seems like a lot of satellites in orbits crisscrossing to keep track of and eventually a lot of space junk that will burn up in our atmosphere when their orbits eventually decay. And as was pointed out this is for one company’s project.

Maybe I’m not thinking big enough these days, but this precedent bothers me. Then again I remember another company proposing about 15,000 subsynchronous refrigerator sized satellites for worldwide internet coverage back about 20 years ago. I don’t think that network has been implemented yet. So in the immortal words of Rosanna Rosannadanna, Never Mind! (Except Elon Musk can’t ever be counted out)
