TBH I doubt Putin et al could care less about a handful of starlinks in Ukraine. They're each basically one uplink for one or maybe a few devices in a country of 44M. If they did care the easiest/cheapest thing to do would be for the Russians to sweep neighborhoods for starlink transmission frequencies and just arrest etc any users thus causing others to be afraid to use them but that's more late-game, when/if they begin to establish "police" control. If Ukrainians wanted internet access and to get around blocking it'd probably be more effective to dig out old serial modems and get PPP dial-up accounts outside the country where phone service that will support that still exists. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
