I suspect the country borders problem will never get resolved. Even now, starlink is only available in US-allied countries.

SpaceX worked with the state department to enable it. It happened during the Iran protests. So it's more like the state department allowed any US connectivity provider to provide service in Iran.

Ask Russia how that's been going ;)
