An HN user’s opinion doesn’t matter in the context of how countries decide in international diplomacy…?

How does this make sense? Other countries could clearly decide however they like, because they don’t need to come to the negotiating table.

It's not my opinion. The ITU permitting system described in my link is the (negotiated) international system that exists today. If you're suggesting it might be re-negotiated to allow latecomers to build constellations below 500 km, then we agree.

However your idea of "annulling" permits already given out isn't necessary, or politically feasible, or even desirable.

"Annulling" is just one HN user's jealous destruction fantasy.
