Regulation needs to step in. Should be a solvable problem to turn transmitters off, when flying over quiet areas.

Isn't it a network, wouldn't the satellites all need to be in communication with each other for the whole thing to work?

Communication between satellites use different antennas and bands than downstream to earth.

Doesn't Starlink even use Laser for inter-satellite communication? Not sure.
