Repressive regimes will ban importation and possession of the antennas, and will prevent citizens from paying for services. A few courageous dissidents will defy the bans but not enough to matter.


I.e. Russian law has a catch for satellite antennas: you can't set them up without a license with a penalty by confiscation and a small fine.
