This is part of the reason why I’m excited for things like starlink - access that can’t be cut off for media companies in these locations. It’s going to go a long way in changing the power dynamic.
- avmich 5y agoYou're not going to have Starlink in the countries where it's illegal in the first place, so there is no access to cut off. Right?
- mensetmanusman 5y agoSmuggling of pizza-dish sized things seems reasonable. Also, could deploy thousands of fake transmitters to make it hard to locate real ones without lots of resources.
- avmich 5y agoRight, but Starlink may not serve locations in the country which forbids its use. Would be glad to be wrong here. Smuggling and deploying fakes have their own problems. I'd also propose optical channel - with its own pro and contras - or means to cheaply manufacture receivers. It's a big discussion.
