:o well I would say such company must be forced to pay, hire a Insurance Company who kicks in to remove it when the Company not exist any more.

:palm: Why should the Public aka Tax Payer pay a Company to remove the Sat from an old one?
Well here in my Country a Company who own a Property who is contaminated with Toxic Material must remove then thats why some place in a (former) Business Park is emty and the City was forced to remove the remains because the just Dumped Chemicals behind the Factory in a Trench. :scared:

Do you have completely no clue about space or what? Satellite will deorbit by itself in a time of a few years if it fails and cannot deorbit proactively. Nobody in sane mind will fly to collect garbage from space with current technology available. Unless there is a huge leap in propulsion like from electron tubes to modern CPUs, it won't be viable. FYI Geostationary satellites move to graveyard orbit at the and of their lifetime. https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/spacecraft-graveyard/en/

Lots of LEO satellites are still up there that have been orbiting Earth for a very long time. So I dont think it's so cut and dry.

LEO has a quite broad orbit altitude range. Starlink satellites are on the lower part of LEO where atmospheric drag is significant.
