Isint it normally only wired connections and not mobile networks ? Or is it blanket shut?

IDK. A community Starlink subscription with WiFi?

Fortunately the South has never experienced it so far. But with whats going on with the new delimitation saga, It can happen any day in the south too. #SouthRemembers

Build a mesh network around you

A meshststic network would at least allow messages during an outage

They only shutdown the mobile internet btw... Broadband services keep running.

Mesh Net??

It's just internet that they shut down, you can still send texts & make calls

Don’t call them the government Gundas of India 🇮🇳

There's strong opportunities between a reticulum mesh network and a diversified bridges to the Internet: StarLink, broadband, mobile, etc.

I really wish Coldcard Q to operate in situations like these. After the keyteleport functionality, I believe the future Qs may perform this magic. Make it @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞

There are always ways. In 2019, Iran shutdown most Internet access. People resorted to dialup modems to connect to international orgs that provided them with (very slow) Internet access. Technologies like packet radio, point to point WIFI and even optical links can be used to connect across borders. Fortunately, most governments realize that shutting down access completely is terrible for the economy. They tend to prefer filtering and partial shutdowns which provides opportunities to sneak traffic out over the allowed channels. Technologies like VPNs and TOR can be used. There are also quite a few lesser know techs that let users disguise Internet traffic. There is no definitive answer here, because filtering tech and allowed channels evolve constantly. Satellite networks like Starlink are usually not helpful because they don't want to defy local governments that can ban them.

StarLink?

Leave

You create your own internet business

Mesh network internet (everyone is an ISP)

Get familiar with Meshtastic [1] and Reticulum [2]. 1.

Meshtastic

An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices

2.

Reticulum Network

Tech nerds can get around it but 95% of the public won't
