Presumably once it gets "cheap" to launch stuff many projects which were uneconomic become possible. Does this mean low earth orbit gets overcrowded rapidly?

Presumably once it gets "cheap" to launch stuff many projects which were uneconomic become possible. Does this mean low earth orbit gets overcrowded rapidly? Is there an international space traffic control? I wonder if this will be another area where the regulation is as tough a problem as the tech.
