This is incorrect. Imagine the impact on Starlink of property rights extended infinitely.

In the US there is not a specific limit, but the principle is “your airspace rights extend as far as could reasonably be used in connection with the property.”[0]

It also depends on frequency of overflight. A small plane landing at a nearby rural airport once a week is treated differently than swarms of drones flying at the same altitude all day every day.

So maybe a few hundred feet, maaaaybe 5000 feet if your property is a helipad. But not infinite.
