Uruguay’s state-owned communications company is giving users a day of free Internet access in support of freedom online.
Antel says it is inspired by the Internet blackout led by U.S. search and social media companies against anti-piracy bills in the U.S. Congress. It is offering free net access on Monday.
The company says it has no position on the anti-piracy bills, but wants to strengthen the principle of free access. Although the debate is taking place far from Uruguay, the company says its clients are directly affected.
