How's the stock doing? Investors better think twice about owning stocks from socialist/communist countries.
Two very key parts to this:
1. CANTV is also the largest provider of high speed internet access. You can imagine the implications..the internet and bloggers are the "X" factor that until now Chavez has not been able to control.
2. What this article is not clear on is that Verizon/CANTV is WAITING FOR A COURT DECISION to tell them what they have to pay for pensions. It is completely in the hands of the chavista courts to make a decision on the pension plan.
Chavez is trying to demonize CANTV because it (the pensions) was a key part of his "revolution" from the beginning, and conveniently he can angle to nationalize and therefore control internet and information within the country, just like the gag laws on the media currently in place.
