    I’m not sure I like the idea that you’re “offering a service” in a country simply by being a data service that can accessed from it.

    Someone from Australia can call me and we can chat. It doesn’t mean I or my phone carrier are offering a service in Australia.

      You’re right, but that also means your service can get blocked in said country. And that’s what they don’t want, so they’re trying to fight it from home.

      Whoever is providing the communications infrastructure to the Australian caller would be offering a service in Australia (5g masts, fibre, customer service etc.)

      Only if the call is going via satellite owned by non-Australians could you avoid this.
