This sounds a lot like Othernet. Was that the inspiration? Is this like a continuation or evolution of the project?

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

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?
