More Internet, more freedom: the Dalai Lama

If you can set up some open source WiFi hotspots for the GeekCorps, you’ve got the blank-seeing of the Dalai Lama. The Tibetan Buddhist leader praised the Internet as a very appropriate broadcast media, and said in a statement of support for the Air Jaldi Summit in Dharamshala, in Northern India:
The Internet’s contribution to the diffusion and dissemination of knowledge and information is truly remarkable. By itself the internet cannot feed the poor, defend the oppressed, or protect those subject to natural disasters, but by keeping us informed it can allow those of us who have the opportunity to give whatever help we can.
For the record, the words “Dalai Lama” still belongs at the censor list of the mainland Chinese government which still (officially) blocked every Skype chat and VoIP phone calls until 2008.
