Forced the government to cut the internet or the government wanted to do so and was waiting for an excuse all along
@Zeb
To my knowledge there's no viable solution for maintaining internet & comms access if a govt decides to 'switch off' the internet.
Mesh networks DO work, but the limiting factors are hardware, power and scaling. And even if there was a national mesh network (highly improbable), it would still only be internal.
Global internet would still require an internet access point that connects to the rest of the world.
Satellite might do it.
