I imagine starlink has the advantage of being able to coordinate with 50% of satelites sharing their orbit (the starlink satelites) so they should have a lower

  Per the article that 500/week is reduced to only the incidents with non-Starlink satellites. Assuming the article is presenting apples-to-apples, then the 80/week for OneWeb should correspond to that 500/week for Starlink. Starlink's total with their own satellites as well was 1600. It's also worth noting that Starlink/SpaceX does coordinate with other satellite operators, it's their responsibility to do so. I was actually working on an edit when I saw your reply and decided to put it here instead. EDIT: Reread a section of the article: > OneWeb, by comparison, currently has 250 satellites and passes another operators’ satellite 80 times per week. So yes, I've made an apples-to-apples comparison here. We don't know OneWeb's total incident count from this article alone and I'm insufficiently motivated to track down that statistic.
