Would this be vulnerable to the same jamming that was done against starlink? My reason for asking is that the site is asking for donations to send more starlinks to Iran, so would it be safe to assume they are aiming to use it as the delivery mechanism for files too.
Basically any satellite signal can be jammed. You just have to make noise louder than the signal from the satellite, either on all frequencies, or on the specific frequencies the satellite uses
I thought Outnernet died because the cost of continually shoving satellite bandwidth through the commercial teleports was… well, really expensive. They had to keep cutting the bandwidth further and further down to barely a squeak in the air, so: how long will this last in comparison?
Probably related but it is more accessible than Othernet for people in Iran right now. You only need
- Digital Satellite Receiver (Set-top Box) with USB port to record TV programs
- USB Flash Drive
- A device to decode the video
The point is people who have a need for this kind of solution also have a need to communicate among themselves. Perhaps to organize against those that make this solution necessary.
....it's available in the Western hemisphere now?! The page mentions Mexico!
I've been wanting to play with Toosheh for YEARS since I first heard about it, but I understood that it was only carried on a bird in the mideast! When did that change?
