Starlink doesn't just interfere with optical astronomy, it also interferes with radioastronomy.

5G was only at example of new technologies. It is true that wireless internet need to be deployed in Africa and other areas, but Starlink need to be deployed in the space too. And in a short/medium term future will be easier upgrade earth based antennas than satellites in orbit. In the middle of the sea are satelital communications for important info actually, and this must be enough. See a film online in the middle of the Atlantic is not as important as the knowledge that the Galaxy give us (my personal and subjective opinion)
