    The iSummit just begun in Rio de Janeiro. And it=92s really a great =20
    place to be. The introduction by a singing Gilberto Gil was amazing, =20
    with an explanation of his vision of the Open Culture through the =20
    creation of Capoeira by Brazilian people.

He might be talking about livre culture.  I am sad that he chose to
use the term "open", which is a weak and wishy-washy term.

    But one strange point is that the wifi connection is not free at =20
    all... It=92s quite expensive.

Why would you expect them to be gratis?  The price of a connection
has nothing to do with the issue of freedom.
