Dilma could hardly refuse Fadi's trap. He came to offer (poisonous
offer) more than what she determinedly asked for with full CS support.
Now the game for her is to reverse the trap and outsmart USSH Inc.
(US Stake Holders incorporated). Your proposition may help her:
Carlos could propose to hold and invite her to a "Civil Society
summit" in preparation (not in parallel) to the Montevideoan's
summit. With Dilma's sponsoring he could even call for logistical
help from Anatel. Dilma would then be the first to achieve a
multistakeholder process where a counter-summit would merge (and
necessarily influence) with an official summit. No one could object
to the whole thing not being on an equal footing
Please remember what Carlos wrote ten days ago about our new "family"
members: "The transnational oligopoly of telecommunications companies
here (Claro Mexico, Telef a de Espa Telecom Italia, Oi/Portugal
Telcom, and GVT/Vivendi) seems quite isolated now on its insistence
in inserting violations of net neutrality in the MC. But we cannot
underestimate its lobbying power in Congress." Fadi brought the
response: we will discuss net neutrality violations with those who
hold stakes in their perpetrations. We then are entitled to say: let
us also discuss them with those who experience them.
This way we will squeeze Dilma (she cannot [and do not want to]
refuse us) into squeezing the USSH leaders.
