Unless the upload signal was somehow ultra-directional like a laser or something, they would detect your upload transmissions and come and arrest you. Same as if you started up a cell phone jammer in the US.
- crowbahr 9y agoYeah, it's pretty old tech to triangulate a broadcast but I'm decently certain that satellite transmissions need to be directional. The problem then is you need the tech of a directional satellite dish that knows where to send the data.
- trevyn 9y agoThe antenna on the satellite itself is highly directional, which is enough to get you a good enough link budget to Earth for many applications with a relatively omni antenna on the ground. See e.g. XM radio, Iridium.
