Once again, APC has an Open Spectrum research and advocacy line, and they seem to be active in Argentina: http://www.apc.org/en/spectrum/country/argentina As well as many other countries: http://www.apc.org/en/projects/open-spectrum-development There is also summary of latinamerica situation: http://www.apc.org/en/spectrum/pubs/spectrum-use-latin-america-summary-report-case-stu And there are a lot of reference papers that you can use when approaching the govt. I can try to see who is the best contact person in APC for this. maxigas, kiberpunk -- ⬢ ⬢ |metatron ⬢ ⬢ |research ⬢ ⬢ |unit FA00 8129 13E9 2617 C614 0901 7879 63BC 287E D166 _______________________________________________ wsfii-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/wsfii-discuss Unsubscribe: http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/options/wsfii-discuss
