I'm confused because band pass filters exist. Can they not add a filter to eliminate the frequencies that starlink uses?

Also, the starlink satellites use phased array antennas, guess that wasn't a great idea either.

Yes, that completely destroys the information in that band. That is the point, the satellites are using these bands, overpowering what was already naturally there.

I'm sure Musk is perfectly willing to turn certain constellations off at specific times... For a price, of course.

Sending so many satellites also requires so many rocket launchers that Google passed on it because it was too polluting.

Starlink is the poster child of "fuck you, I got mine."
