Globo is the media monopolist of Brazil, in case you don't know...
it runs most major print and music publishers, dominates the TV space and, for good or bad, is picking the best technologists in Brazil and dominating news, sports and some vanity entertainment of the web here.
While other corps are slacking they're doubling down on hiring the Agile, Ruby, Python, Go and etc guys most `traditional` techie companies here ignore and are probably making the other players eat dust in doing so..
I don't think I was hateful, I actually gave them credit on the tech culture it's building..
Some of the comments were from people who didn't understand where this was coming from, if it was legit or not.. Obviously, people don't pick Open Source PAAS without getting a bit of context and that was what the comment was about.
That account is not factually correct. Media in general and television in particular is not a monopoly in Brazil. Globo is the largest player in the market and the one the viewers favor the most, but it's not a monopoly.
It could be argued both ways, don't you agree?
every antitrust case starts with "ok, let's define what would constitute monopoly and let's see if we can agree this is or not one" but we both know we'll probably never see this case being opened around here, right? ;)

Why the hate? at least they are doing something..
They are hiring people and allowing them to share their work in the opensource space, whats bad about it?
PS: i'm a Brazillian too

But yes, my affirmation is not factually correct.
> we both know we'll probably never see this case being opened around here
This, by itself, does not prove it is a monopoly.
