Eric Schmidt: "Argentina should expand its broadband network"

The former CEO of Google and technology advisor to Barack Obama visited Google's offices and said that Argentina became in a very good investment because "there are highly skilled workforce and graduates with a high level of education."
In an interview with the Journal profile, the executive said that compared to his last visit three years ago, "the country seems to be doing much better. Internet use, for example, increased a lot. "
He added that they intend to spend twice as much in the country, because "there is a very rapid growth and, in fact, Brazil and Argentina are two countries that are having the fastest growth in the world."
For Schmidt, "Argentina has a penetration deep cell phones, but little market for smart phones, smartphones more powerful "and hoped that this segment will grow to do so as well Android. Suggests that within two or three years, the equation could change thanks to the appearances of cheaper smartphones.
also noted that "electronic commerce is not as advanced here as in the U.S. or Europe. " "We see that the Argentines are very heavy users and uses are similar elsewhere. Something remarkable is that corporate businesses are growing much faster here than in most countries, "said the executive.
however, said the country "should develop a broadband network wider and stronger, we must have more fiber optic connections have to go faster", because "the economic impact of a broadband network is multiplying fast, because people can work on line, doing business online, be more efficient, including export more. "
The solution proposed for this to happen is that the government is "more aggressive" to extend the fiber optic network. "The easiest thing would be to make public works which systematically place for broadband pipes. In the U.S., whenever a street is empty pipes are installed in the future can be filled. This is much cheaper to install networks in other areas, such as an airport ", he said.
Finally, in the interview referred to data privacy, a tricky issue for Google, but Schmidt drew a dribble. "Our philosophy is that you can decide what information you give or not. Most users rely on us because we know where and who they are, because we give them an answer to their concerns and needs. But it is always the user who decides what and how much we know, "he said.
