Well that's been happening for a large number of years now. Globally look at how many companies control access to music/video/movies I suspect once you traverse the mesh of companies and cross-holdings it is closer to 4 or even fewer. Same happens for media including advertising. I think in effect there are only 2 top level advertising companies in India with myriad crossholding and subsidiaries leading to an illusion of diversity. Globalisation is sure fun...
So do you agree or disagree that Governments in Democracies must adopt free software? BTW its not an OT.
you mean that governments in kingdoms, dictatorships etc should not adopt free software?
