In Egypt it's illegal and possibly deadly to use starlink. Eg: The government will come in and take it arrest and/or kill you. Is that the same in India, can't they just get starlink up and running?

Well, wired internet services still work. So what a starlink provides, won’t matter since internet isn’t completely blocked - only 4G/5G on smartphones is blocked.

afaik Starlink generally only provides service in countries where there is an legal agreement for them to operate (and probably international waters). If Egypt don't want it they would just disallow it. Or require that it works with their law enforcement requirements.

Starlink doesn't operate here as far as i know. Also i assume the prices is high for a typical middle class family to use it. Internet is quite cheap here.
