Russians are Unhappy about Ilon Musk Satelities

FSB apparently has plans to ban transmitters, so no non-approved connection could be established from the territory of Russia.

Guess hentai porn is the foremost danger to Russian nation.

All while Russia has failed to set up its own clone of GPS satellites (GLONAS).

Sats can't into:
1.Voice/Video chat(unpredictable delays)
2.Online gaming(most games are latency sensitive)
3.Scaling: can't fit 300 sat dishes on a single roof.
4.Long-term stability: eventually low orbit sats need to be replaced, and they're really vulnerable to space trash(search "kessler syndrome")
5.Bad weather: Thunderstorms,heavy rain/hail, solar storms, wind(change alignment of dish).

Otherwise its great for privacy(if the dish is camouflaged) and independence from local ISPs.
If for example, one megaISP monopolizes all the fiber your only alternative is sat internet.
Something like packet radio mesh networks would be much more effective on the ground, but sattelites have global reach.

Musk system uses a box about the size of a medium pizza and is designed for indoor use only.

Sats are not designed for low usage gaming.

eventually low orbit sats need to be replaced

They currently only have a 5 year life span.

It is great to coordinate military bots, operating out of reach for other communication channels.
