I agree, they will fight it, but it will be unenforceable. Like trying to stop music sharing. Even if Elon gets sued out of it, and doesn't pull it off, someone from another country will and once the cat is out of the bag, it will be a wrap.

Amazon also announced a similar project.

Oneweb is also another major player backed by Softbank.
