Not all wireless created equal?

John Emerson posts two interesting news stories: one on the use of independent radio in Ecuadorean protests and another on the use of mobile phones in Chinese protests - and then asks if the mobile phone story seems to have gotten more media attention because its kind of wireless technology is more sexy. Maybe. And maybe also because forms of techno-orientalism continue and because a lot more money is at stake.
