LOL! Yes, that's one of the words. Maybe it's Hugo's cute little way of saying eff you to the world, the eeevvvil capitalists, and, of course, his fellow Venezuelans.
As Rush pointed out today, it's a dictator's dream machine: knock out the competition by selling an ultra-cheap phone, have everybody on that network, and you have a lovely stream of conversations you can listen in on any time you feel like it. Without even the pretense of a legal order, the state can also examine the numbers people call and their patterns of calling and traveling. Pretty neat, huh?
When your country has a little dictator, you have to find some way to compensate.
