The Guardian reports: Papua New Guinea(PNG) announced in mid-December that Starlink, due to lack of a legal operating license in the country, has been ordered to cease network services. This move has sparked widespread dissatisfaction locally. This incident reflects the regulatory challenges faced by global internet infrastructure operators — even the most widely covered satellite internet services worldwide need to obtain local operating permits in specific regions. For Web3 ecosystems that rely on stable network connections, such regional restrictions could affect the stability of network access for local cryptocurrency users.
---
PNG's move is probably to show the world who the real boss is.
---
Basically, it's a matter of regulatory authority. Even the strongest companies have to bow to local rules.
---
Web3 people are now panicking. How can they place orders if the internet is cut off?
---
Why do some places always want to compete with satellite internet? If they don't allow it, are we really returning to primitive society?
---
Starlink is so widespread, yet there are still places that can block it. That's interesting.
---
When will we have a similar setup here? Let's see how tech giants handle it.
---
Crypto users are suffering, which is the most heartbreaking. Others restrict internet access, they restrict wealth.
Starlink really needs to learn how to play politics; technical prowess alone is useless.
It's another issue with licensing—when will this process ever be reformed?
PNG's crypto players must be panicking; how can they trade if the internet is down?
This actually highlights the necessity of decentralization... although in reality, centralized networks are more reliable.
For encrypted users in PNG being disconnected, it's a bad thing in the short term, but from another perspective, it just shows that some regions are still vying for influence, which could actually be an opportunity for strategic deployment.
Starlink banned? PNG government's move is outrageous
It's the license issue again... eventually, they'll have to compromise
Web3 here might be cut off from the internet
Basically, it's a tug-of-war between power and freedom
PNG, I really don't understand this move, how can satellite networks be banned
Decentralization versus centralized government, betting on who collapses first
That's why you need to use mesh networks, everyone
If it affects mining, it will be troublesome
Regulators' reach is getting longer and longer...
---
Starlink hit a dead end this time, the PNG government is not to be underestimated
---
What can we do? The local crypto circle will have to find a VPN again
---
Working without a license, who gave the courage
---
Now it's better, another batch of regional network outages, the crypto community will suffer again
---
Strict regulation is normal, why are some people still dissatisfied
---
PNG can ban at will, it's that simple and crude
---
Local licensing is indeed a pit, the same everywhere in the world
---
Huh, this won't affect my internet, will it...
---
Satellite networks are not above the law either, get it now
