4. Accelerating change to what?

Tue Jan 22, 2013, 03:19 PM

Jan 2013

We've seen the so-called "orange" (and other color-named) "liberation" movements/revolutions, brought on and organized by/on Twitter and Facebook (with a fair amount of US DoS help). Not exactly with good results (except for privatization corporatists, oil companies, arms manufacturers, etc).

Cuba needs access to credit and markets, first and foremost.

As it is now, due to the lack of localized bandwidth, Cuba's internet is prioritized for gov't, medical, and educational use, as well as several prioritized infranet systems.
