+-   Can We Beam Broadband Internet Into Iran?-> on Monday June 22, @10:19PM abenamer

abenamer writes "Some reporter at a recent White House press briefing just asked the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, this question: Was "the White House....considering beaming broad capability into Iran via satellite so the opposition forces would be able to communicate with themselves and the outside world"? "Gibbs said he didn't know such a thing was possible. (Is it?) But he said he would check on the technological feasibility and get back with an answer." I'm not sure what the reporter meant by beaming broadband into Iran? Do they even have 3G? Would we bomb the Iranians with SIM cards that would allow them to get text messages from the VOA? Or somehow put up massive WiFi transmitters from Iraq and beam it into Iran? How would you, as a Slashdotter, beam broadband into Iran?"
