Important, dirty, corrupt, born on dictatorship topics. This is one example. $70 million funding and no one gets an answer. Eric Schmidt (Google's CEO) traveling to North Korea to talk about population internet access recently certainly rings a lot of bells. The stupidity about people sending flash drives published a few months back in order to get cubans access to information is a sad event realizing how much of fear do we have to rise and ask about something. Why is it than most people in social networks are advertising the goods of such a regime? Because they've been forced to. If I were you, I'd just drop it. There's just no use. I haven't seen a pressuring campaign in Twitter, #WhereIsTheCubanFiber or so, they will never be. Deal with it, as I've done. There's just no use about trying to uncover the uncoverable, the cable is not for us, Internet is not for us, at the moment you realize this you won't be happier, but you'll have one less doubt in your mind. And for the people out there, do something, something meaningful, otherwise just shut the fuck up because we're the ones who get to read and become more frustrated than we are while looking at this issues.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
