We had that before Starlink flooded the radio quiet zones with leakage.

These are either incidental or unauthorized transmissions. Not the Ku band downlink to terminals.

I have such a love hate relationship with the tech. On one hand, I live on the edge of the mountains and can get away while on-call, set up my starlink and still be within SLAs if I got paged while out of service (weekend pages are fairly rare). On the other hand, I'm an amateur astronomer, for visual astro, it's not a huge deal, but I see how it could be for astrophotography (streaks) and obviously it's a problem for radio.

That might be dispositive if we didn't already have almost everybody on Earth wired up without using satellites.
