If it is a valid threat model I don't know, but there are people streaming Bitcoin blocks over satellite for this very reason. So it is likely two islands of the network would be reconnected, provided that any one node is relaying blocks in this way.
- vslira 6y agoI'd really like to see a serious analysis about the viability of a government, or an alliance of governments, to block / split the btc blockchain.

Does anyone have any interesting material to read regarding this?
