lol this is gonna fuck up a bunch of other stuff in adjacent bands, isn’t it

If they use a really narrow and precise band on the satellites then maybe not too much? After all they are within the usual LTE bands.

As jia_tan said, in theory it should be fine if the hardware is up to scratch. I could see it becoming an issue for plane traffic, especially if passengers don't turn on flight mode. Lots of very eager LTE phones switching between towers and sat com. Airplane gear has improved over the years so phone traffic doesn't annoy it, but it'll be something to watch for. Gotta test the theory in practice some time.
