Sun-synchronous orbits are already very popular, have you considered how large a constellation can they safely sustain before everyone placing satellites would have to pay some kind of congestion fees?
I’m aware of a few studies working on modeling this topic in some detail! We’ll be very interested to read them when they publish. One consideration is that the congestion will ostensibly be intentionally high with satellites packed closely together to improve inter-satellite bandwidth.
