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.
