5. Yeah no way to block those. Although most sat internet in the region is centralized.

Even when there is a sat link it isn't an individually owned sat link the sat link and large aperture dish is owned by an ISP who then provides service for multiple subscriber.

Centralized = easy to control.

However if someone or some entity did own a private dish there is no way to block that other than seizing the dish. Sadly sat dishes are kinda obvious and hard to hide.
