[AusNOG] Google Loon Balloon Broadband

[Tony]

If by restricted, you mean filtered to only allow govt sanctioned access, then perhaps not. You need the special google antenna which is red and probably mounted outside. Not very hard for the "enforcers" to spot who might be trying to bypass the "restrictions".


"Technicians came to the volunteers' homes and attached to the outside 
walls bright red receivers the size of basketballs and resembling giant 
Google map pins."
