Well, if you are going to demand payment of the service you need to be able to ID each client, so just apply filtering according to the rules for the country of that user.

Also, you presumably keep track of where your antenna is pointing anyway.

See, this is very easy to overcome. In Eastern Europe, the mafia will start a re-sell operation by opening an account to every single babushka and smuggling the devices alongside with the contraband cigarettes.

I find it very interesting because the governments see the control(or lack of) of the internet as an existential issue.

I am hoping for a censor-fee internet but I don't believe that it's possible. Someone will blow up these satellites if anyone happens to create a free(as in freedom) global communication network.
