Thanks for your report, Glenn. And superbly illustrated as well!
If any of you are coming to NETmundial in São Paulo 23/24 April, perhaps
you'd be interested in the book I just published: The Internet in Brazil:
Origins, Strategy, Development, and Governance.
Available directly from the publisher (details available), Amazon, and
Barnes & Noble now in hard cover and paperback, all eBook formats and
Portuguese versions soon.
