"We're going to create an isolated network infrastructure, which can not be controlled, it is impossible to track and very difficult to destroy", - says Director of Open Technology Initiative Sasha Minras, responsible for developing the program "Internet in a suitcase."

"I had the opportunity to sit down with Sascha Meinrath, director of the New America Foundation's Open Technology Initiative, after he delivered his keynote address at the Alliance for Community Media 2010 conference in Pittsburgh. In this series of videos, Sascha discusses..." digital feudalism, building your own internet, four action items (e-rate reform, universal service fund reform, opening up of the low-frequency TV band for public use, and grassroots mobilization among PEG centers to counteract telecom lobbyists on Capitol Hill), and the role of PEG and community media centers in a functioning democratic society, and the critical need to fight the systematic de-funding of institutions for participatory media.
