It is assumed launches will be approved, not rogue,
nothing says these satnets cannot be deployed.
However, rogue entrepreneurs can get small rockets
and payloads into orbit anonymously.
Most sat and launch tech is open source, contracting out
to external dev, build, and launch teams is legacy nasa
fiction when it comes to independant projects and rogues.

Repeaters, or fully open launch and forget protocol nets
won't need any ground ops, and the sats will stay geostat
etc or just decay. You only need ground ops if you want
to do rekeying, subscriptions, access management, etc.
Any forced deorbit regs can run off a timer.

These satcoms can also be built and launched from any
project or bribe friendly nation, international waters, etc
where US / "International" law doesn't apply.
