Even if Musk makes a phone that can directly connect to Starlink, the general public still won’t be able to use it, and even the smuggled ones from Huaqiangbei won’t work. First of all, with Musk’s gigafactory here, he wouldn’t dare to open up signals in the Great Firewall country. Secondly, this is physical bypassing of the firewall, which is a clear violation of criminal law. Don’t think you can just throw a sheet over your head and secretly use it, because Starlink requires your uplink signal, and that signal can be monitored in no time. Nowadays, even flying a drone can get you located within minutes based on your control signal, let alone Starlink’s uplink signal. Plus, Starlink’s signal is super easy to interfere with. Thinking of physically bypassing the firewall? No way!
