NetFreedom Pioneers' Toosheh system delivers curated data bundles into Iran via free-to-air satellite TV signals, bypassing government internet shutdowns. During Iran's January 2026 blackout — one of the most severe in history — Toosheh broadcast news, protest updates, first-aid guides, and anticensorship tools to millions. The system piggybacks data onto MPEG transport streams, making it undetectable and untraceable. To counter satellite jamming, NFP uses RAID-like redundancy, increasing error-correction overhead to 25–30% during active interference. Operating costs run tens of thousands of dollars monthly; U.S. State Department funding ended in 2025, forcing a temporary suspension until private donors enabled a revival. NFP is also distributing Starlink terminals inside Iran and developing offline local redistribution features to extend Toosheh's reach to disaster zones and conflict areas globally.
