#LazyWeb question: Looking at the #Meshtastic world map[1], it seems Iran's internet/comms shutdown[2] is also including #LoRa bands, but it's hard to find conclusive information about it, though I would assume that if a govt/regime is cutting off comms, it's doing so comprehensively... Of course, there's the (unlikely) possibility for there to be zero nodes in the country to begin with... Anyone knows more?
This insight seems quite important to understand (not just for Iran) and how it potentially re-frames (or constrains) the "networking without internet" to purely non-conflict situations (e.g. being physically out of range of other networks, rather than caused by active suppression)
