Right. But that's ok. We do not depend on the L1 signal being private, we assume it is public.
There is a weird assumption throughout the comments on this post that satellite hops are somehow different in this respect. They are not.
I mean, the article is literally about people squirting unencrypted traffic over the bent pipe.
People do this.
You can't assume that the people you pay to handle your traffic are doing it properly. You or I know not to do this, but it looks like we are not running large phone companies.
