#23hmm maybe this can be easily solved? 1. make a starlink+wireless mesh-network (eg. using BLE) that can handle multiple connects/disconnects seamlessly 2. mount those starlinks on cars/trucks/motorcycles/etc. hide those on ditches, buildings, etc. Elon should work on that "starlink wireless mesh-network" part (eg. app or device)
> easily solved
Asynchronous (you don't know when and where you will get Internet/local network connectivity) mesh (there is no gov infrastructure to be trusted) networking in presence of malicious (gov operated) and unreliable (destroyed by gov) nodes is probably among hardest problems known to computer science.

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
Terminals are easy to find. Every single commercial mobile satellite system, other than VSAT needs to tell the network where it is in order to function. None of them are designed for low probability of interception/detection.
well that's why you need to move around
But this is getting pretty complicated for private citizens without internet access to organize with the protests, sanctions, falling currency and government killing thousands of people, no?

#25Learn from the Ukrainians: to avoid jamming, the Dishy can be buried in a narrow trench so that only the sky is visible and it's not radiating outwards.
why don't they jam the satellites themselves?

That’s not going to save you when your adversary can continuously track your position, and identify your pattern of life.

Does Starlink has a licence to operate in Iran ? (Is the Starlink transmitter homologated in Iran).
Sending RF signals without authorization will put you in trouble with law enforcement in most of the world, US included.

But america are the goodies, they should be able to meddle, spy ... in other countries. Tiktok is certainly a national security issue though, can't have those chinamen spying on americans.
