Starlink needs expensive modem, that is not only too expensive for such

Some nanosatellite with amplified BLE compatible frontend might do
miracles. It is impossible to block ISM band countrywide, anybody can
climb a hill and point mobile to sky and receive regional news. No need
even for custom software, just any software that can receive BLE data
(development/debugging tools).
As kind of PoC, Norby cubesat with LoRa telemetry is being received over
