DSL here in Brazil is too expensive to someone who needs to buy a computer paying in 24 months.
Dialup will not be a problem. There's a lot of free internet providers here, including almost every phone company.
This is really a stupid, stupid idea. The government should finance software development of any kind, open or closed source. The closed source software will be sold and will generate revenues and jobs for the country, the same way.

Do you really think if Microsoft doesn't get the money (not I'm not saying Microsoft is right or wrong), the companies would say "Oh, I'm using open source software, I'll donate the money of licenses to some foundation". The money would be in another hands, just this.
