Of course under Martial law this is hard to implement; however we are exploring various technologies to accomplish this. In the mean time, we are trying to connect their 8 or 9 government in exile locations around the world as a private network, with direct links from the New York office (at least) to their various information distributers, and that includes my board/Unitex. In the mean time, we are using the old 'carrier pigeon' technologies such as word of mouth, eyewitness accounts to Dharmsala then via Telex or other means to New York. If you would like more information, please let me know. We'll do all we can to make sure this information gets out - because that is the key right now.
