Perhaps necessary was the wrong word, though I don't know if starlink supports the same bands the towers already do for 2G, 3G, 4G etc. They don't obstruct our skies, so that's much preferable.

Starlink sats are only visible to the naked eye when they've just launched, once in orbit they're only a problem for ground based optical astronomy, and even then it doesn't seem to be as much of a problem as everyone makes out.

I get that you probably hate Musk, but a lot of the points you're making are just nonsense.
