There are 2 comments on "the new United Fruit Company?":
Villanueva pointed out that the state has recently begun paying water and energy bills on behalf of many schools. "(T)hey are so poor that they could not afford these services, and the provision was being interrupted," he said. "Does it make sense in this context to use tax-payer's money to pay Microsoft licenses?"
It's the new domino effect. If open source gains a foothold in Peru, it could effect neighboring countries, rippling its way right through to the US/Mexican border!
