For those following Cuba events: Internet repression continues in Cuba. Young computer tech in Cuba sent to prison for sharing Internet access through Wi-Fi. The way this was working was several youth got together and shared the cost of an hour ($5 an hour, most Cubans make $20 a month) of access at one of the few hotels that allow Wi-Fi connections. The government is cracking down on these Wi-Fi gatherings once again, after the one way deals with the US.
Technical details: They were using the software "Connectify Hotspot" for sharing Internet access through Wi-Fi on their laptops. http://www.cubanet.org/noticias/detienen-a-joven-informatico-por-compartir-internet/
