> What if someone owned the satellite real estate in a particular region of space? They would have an interest in keeping it orderly to maximize revenue.

In my mind this would only apply to geostationary orbit. Doing anything else would require incredibly complex coordination of "regions" of space, considering orbits are constantly moving with relation to each other and to the Earth.

well, satellites can be geostationary. Not all are. Some travel through a layer of space. You could do this for layers and cover both.

actually, an entire layer would mean all satellites at a specific distance would be renting from the same owner.

I guess that layer would sell for more initially and still compete with other layers that aren't ideal. Or we could have separate scheme for geostationary satellites.
