I wonder if the US military has the capability to provide satellite or UAV routers that would keep the internet open, despite the local government’s wishes.

ISPs are the last leg of almost all Internet traffic. Stop them and you effectively shut down the Internet.

These days if they stop the internet, they stop commerce. Gotta wonder how all the hotel rooms in the country were charged.
