I thought that would get a rise out of you. :) I do hope spacex hires
an engineer that "gets" that the rest of the solar system is a
greenfield environment.

Is it really just LEO? I had figured the regs extended to geosync, and
any innovation would have to happen beyond the lagrange points.

My understanding of the starlink effort is that it's mostly LEO, and
I'd hoped for insanely fast sat to sat coms somehow. lasers
perhaps....

The US Supreme Court decided in several cases that because Coase said there are a finite number of frequencies, which means there should be exclusive ownership of frequencies.
