Anivar,

I agree Smart City  is just another infrastructure project or a real
estate project -like Technopark or Infopark. It just provides space with
some built in facilities for IT firms. A particular space can be taken
up by SPACE or Infosys. It just depends on who asks for it first. It is
for these firms or thier clients to decide on whether they use free or
proprietery stuff.

But you said within a SEZ ,a township project is getting acceptable in
the name of IT. This is the difference between the previous agreement
and the current one. We have specifically insisted that 70% at least
should be set aside for IT. I agree SPACE didn't take a space within
Technopark. But it did rent out a space.And you would also agree there
would not have been a difference if that space was called technopark. So
the theory that Free software will not thrive if we take space on rent
or get together is wrong.Instead I also agree that this is not mandatory
for free software. Nor is it for propretery software. There are many who
work from home and abroad in these firms too. My point is -why do you
differentiate Free and propretery with respect to the space occupied? I
don't think space has any relevance. I am also afraid my friends are
playing into the hands of those who say free software cannot be a
business it can just be a charity.


Smart City is a project exactly on the same lines as Technopark. And we
can discuss on the contribution that Technopark has made too.

Iam not saying owners envy neighbours pride as the self financing
advocates put it. Iam saying the opposite. I said that I am not bothered
where one finds a job. I am just bothered if the state government says
we are not concerned about your livelihood. I was ignoring the state
boundaries rather than potraying them as benefactors.Smart City is no
different from Technopark or Infopark. In fact if things go as we plan
Infopark will be bigger than Smart City in 2 years. So these issues that
you mention are not against Smart City but against the Superset - of IT
parks. I don't think people have voted against that . (The opinion polls
reflect this too)

Regards,
