Nabbous describes how he got past the Libyan regime’s internet blockade and set up a satellite internet connection in order to begin streaming live video feeds from Libya to the rest of the world. It was his 28th birthday, a few days after Gaddafi’s forces had been routed from Benghazi, and Nabbous, like everyone else was very upbeat. Since then, he founded "Free Libya TV" (Libya Al Hurra TV) streaming live over the internet at http://www.livestream.com/libya17feb.
