The Internet in Cuba: A Story of Community Resilience (34x161)

Data di messa in onda: Dic 30, 2017

Speakers: Will Scott, kopek Get a unique tour of some of the world’s most unusual networks, led by a Cuban hacker. Internet access in Cuba is notoriously restrictive. ETECSA, the government-run teleco, offers 60 wireless hotspots in parks and hotels, allowing foreigners and citizens alike to "visit" the Internet for only $1/hour… That’s what most tourists know about the Internet in Cuba, but of course, that can't be the whole story! In this talk, we'll take a deeper look at what life is like for Cuban hackers, and we’ll get to tour a vibrant set of community-driven networks that typical tourists never see. The story that emerges is an inspiring view of what communities can (and can’t) accomplish in the face of adversity.
