How An Illegal Filipino Satellite Combated the Censorship of Obama's Speech in China

Elaine Chow of Gizmodo wrote an article on how she was able to watch Obama's inauguration speech while in China, thanks to, in her own words, "an illegal Filipino satellite." Apparently, gray market decoders there are able to catch signals from DreamTV broadcasts via the Aguila satellite.

I don't know if I should feel proud at least our country is not that far behind in technology. But then the negative implications of those illegal feeds, especially coming after the recent World Bank's blacklisting of local construction companies, surely reinforce our country's image as a corrupt nation. Haaaaaaaaaaay.
