We need one place where we can explode this 50-megaton atomic device without harming people at home. With A and H bombs it was done in the Bikini atoll. Then if the design worked it could be used.

Brazil is the Bikini atoll of the Internet. Get that thing to a place people mistrust governments and big corporations. Give them a possibility to throw some stones against those guys they don't like. (never mind that GM is a big corporation). The important thing is the result. It was tested and the design worked.

I wrote a letter to Ericsson president telling him that 3G is about what I call "computerless" access. I told him forget about getting a device that Finnish people or Swedish will use to go form one airport to the other on his way to a conference to show his power point slides. Just get this in the hands of the poor guys over there and you make a lot of money.

Or does anyone thing that Nestle makes money selling milk products for US and European babies?

My wife want to get to Brazil and offer Internet access to the poorest people. I said: "They don't have money!". She said: "But the poorer the people, the more honest they are there. They always pay their bills." I think she has a point.
