I'm really curious about this paragraph: "...launched shortly after the 2009 arrest in Cuba of American contractor Alan Gross. He was imprisoned after traveling repeatedly to the country on a separate, clandestine USAID mission to expand Internet access using sensitive technology that only governments use." expand internet access with technology only governments use? Is this just some shoddy reporting from a writer who doesn't understand technology or something else?
