    You do know those starlinks move over the planets surface, right?

    The only way to not have them active over a certain area (excluding the poles) is by deactivating them when they fly over.

    Either Elmo doesn’t know how his own planet wide network works, or he is lying.

      You do realize starlink has always had regional and location based activation for multitudes of reasons. Including laws of said countries.

      Yes. It’s deactivated over crimea. It always was.

      Similar to how it stopped functioning if you tried to use it in international waters.

      If you get starlink location of use is included in the setup. Which is why you can’t just slap it onto a boat or something. (though they do now sell a starlink with that functionality)
