For Enrique Chaparro (Buenos Aires), the buzzwords in the ICT for Development discourse (info-society, info-development) are simply substitutes for an older discourse. He focuses on free and open source software, but acknowledges that computers will neither end world poverty nor close the digital divide. A firm believer in free markets - ideally, everyone getting into the market has an equal position, without taxes or monopolies -, he does not expect such markets to exist anytime soon, even given the efforts and hard work by many civil society organizations in reigning in dominant market actors.
