I saw this post here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/documentaries/2009/08/090827_world_stories_new_media_kashmir.shtml Young men armed with their mobile phones are capturing every disturbance in > the disputed state of Kashmir in an effort to combat what they see as > restrictive policing. > > In doing so, they have sent their images from phone to phone and loaded > them on to the internet to reach an audience way beyond their borders. > I think in the next 5 years, we'll see a lot more video from all over the world. I know in activist circles, getting people trained to record and upload video is a huge priority. I assume it'll spread from there.
