USB Underground
by Andrew McCaskey
The New York Times article on the use of USB sticks as the distribution medium of choice in Cuba for illicit information, web sites, videos and audio files captured my interest today.
I was reminded of articles that were published perhaps 25-30 years ago that spoke of the role of the Phillips tape cassette in the return of Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979 following years of exile in France. For many years, his followers distributed and duplicated cassette tapes around the Shah’s secret police. The phrase used by some was “small media – big revolution”.
It looks like history is repeating itself.
