OK.

This one invention should create the first global treaty signed by every nation banning it!

We don't have much to worry about. There is so much debris orbiting the earth that his 'advertising satellites' will get pummeled to death. This debris comes from booster-separation explosions and such, and there is a lot of it, travelling VERY fast. The US Military tracks every object in near-earth orbit (15,000 miles) that is larger than a 10cm from several large arrays called NAVSPASUR stations. This data is used by the military and NASA to keep satellites out of harms way (it's easier to move a 10-ton satellite a few dozen feet that it is to stop a small bolt travelling at MACH 3).

I think that NORAD will withhold its data from this moron "in the interests of national security" and then add the chunks of his crap to their orbital debris lists. :D
