Pacifica Radio at 60: KPFA Remains a Sanctuary of Dissent Six Decades After Its Founding
-
WILLIAM MANDEL: The thing began on a Monday. My show was on a Monday. I called Trevor Thomas, who was then the station manager and also at that moment the head of Pacifica. I did something I had never done before and the station had never asked me to do. I said, “Trevor, I’m going to accuse the President of the United States of endangering the existence of humanity in my show this evening with his blockade of Cuba. Do you want me to read you the script?” He said, “No.” And to me, that was the finest single demonstration of adherence to principle in all the years of KPFA.

Pakistan's 2008 Emergency and Digital Convergence - And the role of mobile phones | MobileActive.org
-
"On November 6, the ousted chief justice of the Supreme Court, who had been placed under house arrest when emergency rule was declared, chose to address the nation via cellphone. In his talk, he called for mass protests against the government and the immediate restoration of the constitution. Justice Chaudhry placed a conference call to members of the Bar Association, who relayed his message via loudspeakers. That broadcast was intended to be further relayed by members of the crowd who had planned to simply hold their cellphones up to the loudspeakers to allow remote colleagues and concerned citizens to listen in on the address. More ambitious members of the crowd planned to record the message on their cellphones and subsequently distribute it online.

However, most mobile phone services in Islamabad went down during Chaudhry's address, prompting suspicions that they had been jammed by the government. In the first few days of the emergency, sporadic efforts to cut telephone lines and jam cellphone networks were common, even though the telecommunications infrastructure in Pakistan is privately owned. Mobile connectivity at the Supreme Court, protest sites, and the homes of opposition politicians and lawyers who were placed under house arrest was jammed at different times. In off-the-record interviews, employees at telecommunications companies explained that the government had threatened to revoke their operating licenses in the event that they did not comply with jamming requests."
