That's a good question.
The answer may not be in airspace vs. space. (That border is undefined,
but if there is not enough air to get downlift, I would say it's not
airspace anymore, but space.)
One answer may be that the vessel that is routing the data flies under a
certain carrier flag. So one could argue that all SpaceX satellites are
US flagged, as they obtained their license from the FCC. (Same for OneWeb.)
Could there be VPNs creating virtual Canadian territory in cyberspace?
Why not, eh!
