Whoa you may want to slow down. Use of the internet can educate the people albeit slowly. If they get smart they may put all the polititians in JAIL for being thiefs.

I am worried about my no show job ya know.

Many Latin American countries have passed or are close to passing the 100% mobile penetration milestone, and growth is set to continue beyond this mark.

More and more people own multiple mobile accounts - either one phone for work and one for personal use, or one phone for each mobile company in order to take advantage of special offers. The growing popularity of mobile broadband also means that an increasing number of users require at least two SIM cards, one for their mobile phone and one for their USB modem.

Market highlights: Number portability has been launched in Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru, and is in the process of implementation in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic.http://www.bitcoca.com/
