I also have a little information about the internet in Iraq. When I was up
in Mosul my platoon was tasked to set up the internet cafes throughout the
city. We used existing satellites to provide them with the internet. We also
wired the Mosul Hospital and Mosul University to gain access to the
internet. I'm in communications so I dealt with the internet alot while I
was over there
