One of my Refugee Science advisors reminded me on the phone today that the blimp has a future. One of the blockchainers I know taught me a similar lesson: when large groups gather, for such as a folk music festival, the needs of WiFi users may be best served, by a blimp (tethered).
A blimp need not be designed for passenger humans. They're a relatively inexpensive way to provide cell services, but also an eye in the sky. The dynamics of refugee camp asylums, as we know, is campers are welcome to look through the same eyes, like Oregon does with its freeway ODOT cameras. People are much less worried about surveillance when it's not about "us versus them".
These elementary observations, about the web cams, reminds me of lessons from Occupy. These are not prison camps so much as livability experiments, and in democracy such as those in the camps are able to shoulder self governance. How self governance gets established is in part facilitated and catalyzed by software. People have shared access to data, about what's happening on campus.
