It takes a lot of juice to jamn radio signals though, the farther away from where you are jambing the harder it becomes as I understand it, an inverse square root.
Are you saying that because they Iranian government has increased their satellite jamming capabilities and efforts, that all Iranian citizens should stop using satellite internet?
Or are you under the impression that because the government may be jamming signals in one, or multiple different locations, that they’re jamming all frequencies, in all places, at all times?
P2P mesh systems aren’t a replacement for a loss of global internet connectivity from domestic ISPs, but satellite internet can be.
Not if Elmo owns all the sattelites, then it won’t be the Internet.
Satellite internet is not a good option, it’s easy to block and easy to spot people using it.
Maintaining links to the global Internet is easier to do if you’re hiding your transmission inside other things, but that’s easier said than done.
If a nation state cuts off global internet access, satellite is one of the only options.
That doesn’t change just because it’s not ideal, or because governments have countermeasures.
Except that the Iranian government has also been jamming satellite internet.

Do you know how they jamn the satelites?
It was something about base stations needing to know their own precise location. So they messed with the GPS signal.
And it isn’t 100% effective, of course.
