Wondering who is "us" J.B.C. RE: 1 & 2, the distance between satellites in miles is not an issue. In #1 the radius of the circle is 4000 mi earth radius plus distance from surface to orbit, so your circumference number is a bit big, but it doesn't matter. There is an enormous amount of empty space up there. Your #2 is the significant limitation. Angular separation for satellites is typically 2 degrees to take care of the interference problem. Unless they operate in different frequency regimes, this means about 180 "slots". There are already a lot of satellites up there. I seem to recall the number is around 150. Someone else might know for sure.
