As if there's no way to figure out the receiver in the cell that's 300 miles from anyone or anything using to massive bandwidth, billed to some fake name in France, is JNIM.

Somewhat related, I'm surprised Starlink doesn't seem to accept crypto because it seems like it would be incredibly difficult to pay with a credit card for Starlink service in some of these African countries.

Seems trivial if they accept visa style gift cards.
