I had assumed we were doing this, and am happy to see it confirmed. Creating wifi access points is quite a simple thing to do and the benefits it provides to free speech are quite obvious. With a budget as big as the U.S.'s, blanketing an area with a ton of powerful wifi points(satellite uplinks, etc.), is incredibly cheap too.



I'm pretty sure the 2 million dollar grant is for the group to develop the system and start producing them, not a single suitcase.


The grant was $2M, not the individual "suitcases".


Thanks! Edited.
