spacex is the only company with the launch capability to pull of a constellation like that. why would they give up that monopoly to anyone? I don't even think china or russia could outpace them at this point, nevermind boeing, Lockheed, Blue Origin, or any of the other US companies

Because a private company can do something does not mean it should be allowed to do it, does it? It's already bad enough with Starlink, but surely it's only a matter of time before other companies and governments want to compete. Which makes me wonder if governments should not just agree on forbidding it entirely.
