You Cannot Stop the Signal

1/13/26 Guardian reports on how the ayatollahs are trying to isolate Iranians from the Internet. While these techniques are pretty effective for blocking Netflix and other objectionable streaming services, a fsir amount of traffic gets through anyway because of the packetized nature of TCP/IP.  It also helps that the constellations of Starlink satellites provide multiple hard to blocks transceivers. Eventually, enough packets will survive the jamming to get news in and out.  It may take a while.  It appears that somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 Starlink terminals have been smuggled into Iran.

If it looks like the Fascist Party is going to win in 2028 by hook or very likely by crook, Starlink might be the only way to break their desire to shut down "disinformation" sources.
