Argentines' Access to Online Sites Under Debate

[bio]

While South America is frequently cited as one of the world regions most likely to experience the next surge in poker popularity, some officials in Argentina are trying to ban their citizens from the online game. Bills have recently been introduced in two separate Argentinian provinces, Sante Fe and Buenos Aires (the latter of which surrounds but does not include the city, which is autonomous), which would ban all forms of online gambling and seek to block access to all such sites at the ISP level. At issue, as with most other government-vs.-internet battles, is the Argentinian officials' desire to extract taxes from what they view as an untapped revenue source.

Hi bio,

Thank you for taking the time to make posts here at NDN. Please remember that I prefer that most posts here at NDN remain original and not copies of articles from other websites.

In most cases, this isn't a real issue, but I want to make sure that it doesn't become a habit for the members here to limit their posting to copying and posting articles from other websites.

If you have any questions about this, please let me know.

Thanks,
NDN

No problem bio. Please don't take offense to my post.

I've just learned over time that the members prefer to read more personal posts by other members rather than articles from other websites. If you keep an eye on the number of "views" that article based posts receive on the forum, you'll see that there really isn't a whole lot of interest in most cases.
