Bolivia, which relies on a Chinese-built satellite for some of its connectivity, banned Starlink — but that hasn’t stopped people from smuggling the device into the country.

  • Bolivia’s internet comes from a Chinese-built satellite, and connectivity is patchy.
  • Demand for contraband Starlink kits has grown since the company was denied a license last year.
  • The telecoms authority said it is considering easing regulations for low-orbit satellites.

    It sucks that Starlink is the only reasonable choice for satellite internet for a lot of people.

    Nobody should feel like they need to choose a technofacist to connect with the world.
