You realy don't know nothing about Brazil. Here we have a TV in every "barraco" of the "favelas", so , the poor people has electricity.
"After that they should think about the ecological problems with amazonia... "
What about your natural resources? and your forests?
I don't think so. First, you don't live in Brazil and I don't think you have an idea of the reality and the problems we have here.
The government will not use our taxes to make this PC's, but will give isenction of taxes to the company that will. This is the point.
Here in Brazil we have a lot of jobs in computer area, and very few people that is able to get this jobs. The unemployenment is a big problem here, and this will help to minimize that.
Other dificulty that we encounter here is the prices of hardware, since every hardware we heve here came from other countries , and the cambial diference betwen the Dollar and the Real is very big. This makes it a "litle" painful to a average citzen to buy some hardware.
