Well, there's no ground station in Portugal but starlink already announced availability of the service in Portugal.
Unrelated: how should one go about to become a certified starlink installer, anyone knows?
Europe might be considered the same geography regulations wise.
Strict regimes would want connections termination locally so they can monitor and implement content blocks/censorships etc. It would not be possible if the ground stations where not in the geographical control.
Depends actually,some countries want to monitor their inbound/outbound traffic so it might be restricted in that way in geographies requiring this, they can hardly add monitoring equipment in another country after all.
Interesting to see Chile's new Fibre network taking shape. I guess it was a factor in the placement decision for these base stations though I imagine they were also located in Chile for the higher wealth and economic stability compared to Argentina.
