It’s sad how $$$ legacy satellite services worked almost everywhere (Inmarsat, iridium, globalstar, even ham/hf), but now that it’s within reach of the poors, they get heavily regulated to oblivion.

pretty sure the radios came first and then the regulations came after as it became more available. Depends who you ask whether it's been regulated to oblivion.
