Third time's a charm? SpaceX hopes to launch 60 Starlink broadband sats into orbit tonight

At what point will we need a global Orbital Traffic Control and who gives permissions to erstwhile satellite launchers?

Also is there a record of everything we have in orbit so that a launch isn't going to insert a satellite into someone else's secret sattellite orbit?

I know they should all be visible but if the military likes stealth planes and ships I would be surprised if no-one has attempted something stealthy in orbit.
