What's the point of releasing them all at once? Shouldn't they be scattered around the globe? like a GPS constellation?
(assuming they're all part of the same thing)
They’re released at the same time in a string and kept in low orbit whilst they are individually checked out (I believe they couldn’t contact 3 out if the first 60).
Those that are dead will relatively quickly decay and renter. The others will be separated into their correct spacing by lowering and raising them by +/-300m and then raised into their final 550km planned orbit for the first 1600. Up to 42,000 satellites are planned in various shells.

Movie just covers the initial 12,000 satellite shell with an inclination of 53 degrees.
