SpaceX Deploys 60 Mini Starlink Sats

While I admire SpaceX, for their achievements in reusable launch vehicles, the creation of a network of 11,000 of these mini internet satellites just seems entirely unnecessary and further pollutes space above earth with more junk.

BTW, who is actually behind this, is it really SpaceX initiative?

I am reminded of Mr Universe's advice to Mal in the movie Serenity, "you can't can't stop the signal"! Do we really want broadwave capability everywhere?
