I'm expecting that this will end in a cascade of space junk, as in the movie Gravity, and we'll be forced to use airships and solar powered drones. Sounds rather idyllic in a way.
Edit: As per one reply, according to Wikipedia "a large part" of the star link network would de-orbit after about 5 years due to atmospheric drag.
