We are worried about 15% worse internet in the first world so we need to stop ibternet for wveryone anywhere on the planet at.

Planet wide communication thats some SciFi shit do we really want to stop that.

Stop being dramatic. Nobody is "stopping" Starlink service. They just can't step on anyone else's toes in the RF spectrum, like has been the case since the FCC was founded a century ago. Everybody has their lane, and Elon wants more.

Re have run out of frequency bands we must replace the old with the new. How we do this idk

The same way everyone else had to do it. Figure out how to pack more data into the same space. People came up with innovations like phase division multiplexing, time division multiplexing, and the like, as well as using much higher frequencies, into the very high microwave region. Elon can figure it out too. A good engineer knows how to work with what they have.
