| [Nettime-bold] Re: <nettime> Fighting over movie tickets in Kabul |
It does seem that the Afghans have been media-starved. Another account had a shopkeeper in liberated Kabul going to his back yard, digging up a buried TV and VCR, turning it on and popping in a copy of Titanic! And of course a radio station has started broadcasting, with a 16 year old girl doing some of the announcing! At the Internet Society conference in 2000 I met the webmaster for the Taliban. He operated out of Peshawar and ferried CD's with mail and other files from there to Kabul. He had a nice little pamphlet in English about his service (which was very modest). I wonder where he is now and who will open the first cybercafe in the country. Had Abdul Haq survived (http://www.guardian.co.uk/waronterror/story/0,1361,582692,00.html) he might have opened one.
