@Mamapolo2016 I guess that they will develop some standards and a routing protocol to avoid collisions that all satellites will adhere to. As the satellites are not driven by humans, the possibly of error and not following the protocol will be negligible. Which may kill this job opportunity too.

@ABCDEF7 "That all satellites will adhere to."

That'll only take a century or so for all the nations launching satellites to agree to.

@Mamapolo2016 We hope so, because UN's law for space is already there.
