Would this be vulnerable to the same jamming that was done against starlink? My reason for asking is that the site is asking for donations to send more starlinks to Iran, so would it be safe to assume they are aiming to use it as the delivery mechanism for files too.

Great but it's just a content consumption solution, isn't it?

This sounds a lot like Othernet. Was that the inspiration? Is this like a continuation or evolution of the project?

....it's available in the Western hemisphere now?! The page mentions Mexico!

I've been wanting to play with Toosheh for YEARS since I first heard about it, but I understood that it was only carried on a bird in the mideast! When did that change?

Knapsack is a horrible word. I can’t believe people choose to say this word instead of backpack.
