If Jeff Bezos gets his way, the darn height will be about England stood on its south coast. Mind you, Starlink looks like they'd give flight crew a start.
The useful positions in the geostationary belt are just about full, and are much prized.
The daft thing about LEOs is that anyone with enough cash can chuck as many up into orbit as they choose and there seems to be no end to the process. The only control is on the frequencies they use. Astronomers just have to accept any problems they create for now or in the future.
