If he actually going to deliver "Internet access" with those drones, or is this another one of his shenanigans trying to force-feed people Facebook as the "Internet" in poor countries?

Maybe a half dozen other providers will build planes and fly them over those ignorant poor people, providing competitive options. Maybe someone will invent mind-to-mind links.
