https://news.yahoo.com/india-spacex-starlink-warning-164709332.html India has told Starlink to stop pre-sales of satellite internet access when it doesn't have a license for the country. Jim Bell's comment: Starlink should sell non-local "mobile" service anywhere. Without bothering with "licenses". India is a country which 'turns off' Internet for 'political' reasons.

As with other mentions of opportunities for Starlink on this list... Starlink should opensource its satcom link protocols and publish a DIY "Maker" version of its dish on github so that anyone who pays anonymously via crypto and includes a pubkey, can subscribe and build and use their satcom internet service freely across the world. Lots of people have crypto to spend and would be *very* willing to pay for that service. And not least among many great use cases including mobile journalists, human rights, applied infotech self-learning, etc, because...
India is a country which 'turns off' Internet for 'political' reasons.
The USA is a country which 'turns off' Internet for 'political' reasons... censorship, BigTech and Media services owned by one partisanship, granted subsidy abatements finance priviledge and license by government aka "a country", ahem. China and plenty of others too.
