The discussion about Starlink is interesting, but with only ~0.1% of the population having access, the real story is the 99.9% who are cut off right now. The asymmetry between those who can broadcast to the world and those who can't is staggering — and even among that 0.1%, many are too afraid to broadcast anything, knowing the risks.
The key is that the 99% can transfer data and such internally to the country; the 0.1% can then leak it out.
How effectively can they share data domestically during blackouts?
Carrier pigeons.
And hamsters.
Don't underestimate the hamsters.
