    Companies should be fined based on how long an object is cluttering space. Billed monthly. One time fees hardly seem appropriate.

      Fines aren’t actually sufficient. It should be criminal charges to past and current executives for ruining our safe orbital space, and if you are are doomer, for contributing to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome .

      Basically force the people who ultimately are responsible for cost saving measures to have skin in the game.
