Just finished reading the New York Times June 18, 2011 supplement to the Manila Bulletin and in their article titled "Liberation Tech", "the Obama Administration is leading a global effort to deploy shadow Internet Mobile phone systems that dissidents can use to sidestep attempts to silence them".
The article makes further mention a group of entrepreneurs assembling an "Internet in a suitcase" while erecting alternate celltowers inside US Bases to allow dissidents access to the internet. It also cited the case of a person who has successfully smuggled people out of North Korea and one tool to aid these people to communicate with the outside world is there are cellphones "buried in the hillside for people to dig up at night".
Interesting is the Internet in a suitcase. May be Google can deploy them in China so people there can access uncensored the Google site.
From a Logistics point of view, the Flow of Information and the ability to communicate is of primary concern but it also has its huge cost component. Imagine if the Internet in a suitcase could be designed to bypass the local telecom carriers and allow one to use Skype for calls and another way to handle data -- there could be huge savings for the logistic company not counting the fact that the logistic company could offer other value-added services on a real time basis.
By the way, I would like to invite you to visit my Sulit Homepage as there are some business opportunities that you guys might be able to help me out with. If you are interested, just click the Sulit Logo below:
