AFAIK they're in separate shells so the probability of collision is basically zero.


Things you put in orbit at a certain elevation don't stay at that elevation forever.


Presumably, there would be a corridor for traveling through elevations whether that was for reaching orbit or de-orbiting. The people placing things in orbit are not doing this with out coordination.


There are in fact many objects that deorbit in an exceedingly uncoordinated manner. It's a statistical inevitability that kessler syndrome is in our very near future if we allow higher orbits to be polluted.
