Re: 'Imperial Culture' (non-canonista)
In Dune the Atreides were kept from deploying sats because the Guild had artificially pumped the price to harass them or keep them from seeing something or something like that. Politics could get involved in infrastructure budgets in similar ways.
Another possibility is that the Natives have some taboo that would be broken by putting up sats. That is also a possibility if you wish their to be difficulties along that line for some reason.
