<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">To everyone:<br><br>Thanks so much for the interest! I was just watching CNN and they have been reporting from Channel One ( http://channelonetv.com/ ) in LA. It's the largest and most viewed 'outside' Farsi news channel in Iran. They are still broadcasting and the owner is an exile from Iran; he is trying to promote Democracy in Iran. People of Iran can still watch Channel One through Afghan TV; or if the Iranians kept their satellite dishes (the Revolutionary Guard has been taking them) they can watch Channel One because the news station changed it's broadcast frequency.<br><br>Channel One has sent 10,000 video cameras in the form of a pen, a "camera pen". It has audio and records for 20 minutes. But the neat part is you open it up and you find it's really a USB/camera pen. I assume it must run on Windows.
Channel One is planning on sending *thousands* more of these pen cameras to Iran this week.<br><br>I then thought of contacting Channel One and telling them about Tor, TorBrowserBundle and Tor Bridges. Why not have them put TBB on *each* pen they send out? And with each TBB they could include the signature and a .txt file with a few Tor Bridges listed. Ideally each pen could have a different list of Tor Bridges. Alought as <em style="font-style: italic;">amir (hushang) azizi</em><span style="font-style: italic;">Is</span> wrote, Tor is working from Iran at this time. Is Vidalia trasnled into Farsi?<br><br>I will contect Channel One in three hours. I hope I can get some respones and direction (if I am misguieded) before then. If the Tor Project or the EFF wanted to be the entity who contacts Channel One be my guest. <br><br>All the best and Demoracy for all!<br><br><br><br>--- On <b>Thu, 6/18/09, Chris

about or-talk?". Would it be wise to ask people in or-talk to provide Bridge addresses to this topic? When people have submitted say 5 or 10 (or more) Bridge addresses I could collect them and post them to Twitter and lots of other sites.
