Even if literally no new applications popped up, capacity and coverage increases for existing applications require increases in satellite count.
I'm sorry but this is not a good enough argument for gutting science. You need to justify that capacity and coverage increase is required.

The companies trying to make these plans are just looking for money. It's not for some noble goal for progress. If you fail to see that, I'm sorry for you.
