    They don’t have a choice, everything else requires ground based infrastructure.

      Starlink technically requires ground based infrastructure but they don’t need to be in Ukraine. The closest Starlink ground stations to Ukraine are in Turkey and Poland, according to this map.

        Yes, those sites bridge star link and the rest.of the internet, but that doesn’t change the requirements for ind users so only have a tmall antenna.

        Ok, so I stand corrected. But still, it doesn’t need antennae like with cellular internet.
