Shortwave radio is the only truly global information medium that can't
be censored, controlled by a handful of megaentities...

I would consider China, N.Korea, Cuba, Iran, Syria, Vietnam, Pakistan,
and many others to very heavilly censored and controlled.

I'm talking about the medium of shortwave radio itself, not the
individual stations. Look at how a medium like say XM Satellite Radio or
Directv is set up and controlled vs how shortwave radio as a medium is
uncontrolled. With XM or Directv the entity controls all access and
controls what is broadcast. With shortwave, I can choose to listen to
the BBC or to Voice of Korea. In China, the Chinese can choose to listen
to CNR or to Radio Free Asia (albeit secretly). See what I mean?
