Information's Political Implications

Interesting juxtaposition of articles in the news today. 

The first is CNN's report of the ongoing information debate between the nations of Google and China. If you're reading this page you've probably already read this article.

An article also published today but not nearly as widely distributed is RadioWorld's 'Whatever Happened to Shortwave Radio?' which states that:

For all its transmission expense and audio problems, analog shortwave radio has one clear advantage over the Internet and domestic radio/TV: It cannot be easily blocked — even when states try to disrupt its signals using jamming transmitters. 

Food for thought.
