The advantage of a high-altitude balloon: a proven tech that would not require new infrastructure in Cuba. The U.S. previously used other, on ground tech (satellite Internet devices) inserted into Cuba to provide the people with unfiltered internet. https://t.co/pV0WWhY8Xf — PolitiTweet.org

We should pursue a two-track strategy. One, introduce new Internet connections through this ⬇️ proven technology + other technologies. Two, bolster our support for tech like U.S.-backed Psiphon, which can help Cubans use the island’s existing networks by circumventing blocking. — PolitiTweet.org

EXPLAINER: Is a balloon-powered internet network for Cubans possible? Technically, it's been done. https://t.co/2cypl4l6S3

@viccal30 It’s really interesting tech. The way stratospheric balloons operate (60,000 feet +) they can stay *relatively* in one place - moving in long, arcing circles or figure 8s - by moving up to catch winds in one direction & down to catch winds in other. Plus they’re up for 100 days. — PolitiTweet.org
