News on tech and connectivity in the Middle East
Just read that Iranian authorities have seized hundreds of banned Starlink devices, which they call tools from the "American-Zionist enemy." Using them can carry harsh penalties, especially during wartime. Meanwhile, Starlink is getting approved in more Middle Eastern countries like Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman, with licenses pending in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. It's interesting how this satellite tech provides internet in remote areas or where infrastructure is damaged, but in Iran, there's a major internet blackout affecting most people. It really shows the divide in tech access and control.
