If something like Starlink goes live, would it possibly be a way for citizens of a country that chooses to nope out of the global internet to stay online?

- nakedrobot2 8y agoNo, because they are short range and require stations on earth to provide internet locally. As far as I know. But I know very little about starlink.
- Gaelan 8y agoThat's an interesting scenario. Assuming they're completely isolated, I imagine you'd end up with an industry of smuggling the internet—build a tunnel under the border, run some fiber (is there a way to do a high-bandwidth wireless link?), host a VPN accessible from within the county, profit handsomely.
