While this is a problem (for them, to be clear), I don’t think it is the motive behind their military counter-Starlink studies. This could be countered on the ground by interdicting smuggling of Starlink terminals. That would be extremely difficult, but another option would be to set up some sort of system designed to detect Starlink connections. Have a sat in GEO above China listening, have it pick up Starlink signals, and then pinpoint the location so it can be forwarded to the police. But a much more effective “counter” to that side of the “Starlink crisis” is the fact that revolution is hard. As has been proven over the last 80 or so years, it is one thing to know what is going on in the world, but it is far, far more difficult to do something about it.

Allowing the people to gain information, they may start asking questions and advocating for change. You don't need a full blown revolution to shift your government... Or even change it. But yes - Starlink is an easily interdicted terminal; all the military has to do is fly drones over the city and map the location and frequency of the emissions... Knock knock bang.

Yeah, nice to see that they address this head-on. Also, the 'perspective' piece about altitude, with 1200km satellites being visible at midnight vs Starlink's low altitude.

tater Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Paying for stuff you use is entirely appropriate. Items donated were already paid for (unless Raytheon retroactively gave the money back to the original buyers, LOL—yeah, no). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
