Tim MakFor Amir Rashidi Iran’s previous internet blackouts felt like yelling for help with nobody to hear you.
But as an internet expert, Amir believes internet cutoffs like #Iran’s could become more common than we like to think.
sepehranIt is becoming increasingly difficult for any government to cut a whole country off from the internet. Constellations such as OneWeb and Starlink are making satellite connectivity as universal, affordable and difficult to shut down as satellite TV.

@sepehran @timkmak yes and no.
Certainly #NorthKorea is able to maintain that control by literally publicly executing any importer or owner of #Satcom equipment for "#espionage"...
- If in doubt, #Sneakernet is the only truly resilient communications network!

After all, #Iran has almost completed it's #Splinternet infrastructure and tight control over the #Internet.
- It's not able to cut the cord amidst it's own, domestic and exporting #TechIndustry, as even the #IRGC-controlled #DIO needs to make videocalls to sell their stuff...
As for the average citizen, I expect them to organically copy the "Cuban Model" of Sneakernet and adapt to it.
- The biggest hurdle is to get anything out of Iran, not into Iran.
And I doubt Embassies are going to install WiFi Dead Drops and risk getting their premises violated as this would be considered a "hostile act" against the host country similar to Election Interference!
