    Except that the Iranian government has also been jamming satellite internet.

      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.

      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.

      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?
