Der Name steht damit auch endgültig fest: "Tipitapa en las Zonas Francas - Bilder, Geschichten, Fakten und Träume aus dem Nicaragua der &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sonderwirtschaftszonen&lt;/span&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Der Begriff "Freihandelszone" war zu irreführend. In erster Linie werden damit internationale Handelsabkommen wie zum Beispiel Mercosur oder CAFTA-DR verbunden. Das Wort "Sonderwirtschaftszone" ist zwar ein Ungetüm, beschreibt aber am präzisesten das, worum es in der Ausstellung geht: eine an ein Territorium oder einen Betrieb gebundene steuergesetzliche Ausnahmeregelung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Webseite der Ausstellung: &lt;a href="http://www.tipitapa-zonasfrancas.info"&gt;http://www.tipitapa-zonasfrancas.info&lt;/a&gt; .

Había leído en The Linux Gazette de una clase de computación que estaba coordinando junto con la cooperativa Christine King (véase &lt;a href="http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/9234"&gt;articulo en The Linux Gazette&lt;/a&gt;). Quería entrevistarle para conocer sobre sus experiencias con las clases en que enseñan el uso de programas de office y de internet en plataforma Linux a principantes. Regresé con un consejo práctico que no tenía nada que ver con las clases de computación.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/a-barth/65594478/"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 240px; height: 180px;" src="http://static.flickr.com/27/65594477_50476f9de6_m.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;Vista de Catarina hacía Finca Azveda&lt;br /&gt;a 7 km, donde se encontró el otro punto&lt;br /&gt;de enlace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mientras su perro grandote nos obsequiaba mechones de pelo blanco rozando nuestras piernas, hablabamos de las posibilidades de un enlace inalámbrico para la zona de Malacatoya. En esa zona rural que está ubicada a 30km al norte de Granada, donde apenas entra la señal de los teléfonos celulares, no hay línea telefónica fija y el servicio de internet ofrecido por empresas como alphanuméric está a precios como $ 300 mensuales por 512kbit/s nominales. Para ir a la capital del municipio, que es Granada, uno tarda de dos a tres horas en bus, dependiendo del estado del camino no pavimentado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phil recomendó dos wireless access points RangeLAN2 7521 de Proxim que tienen una potencia de 500mW con dos antenas parabólicas de 24dBi/2.4 GHz. Los Proxim se venden usados en ebay alrededor de $ 100 por equipo. &lt;a href="http://www.fab-corp.com/"&gt;Fleeman, Anderson &amp; Bird&lt;/a&gt; venden 24dBi antenas económicas en $ 56. Sería un total de $ 312, más costos de envío llegó a ser $ 386. Un precio sumamente bajo para un equipo de un alcance de hasta quizas 58 millas (léase comentario &lt;a href="http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=22573&amp;amp;cid=2428613"&gt;"We've done 58 miles"&lt;/a&gt; en slashdot.org).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/a-barth/65594478/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/34/65594478_596408f579_m.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;Antony en la Finca Azveda con el&lt;br /&gt;Proxim RangeLAN2 (caja negra,&lt;br /&gt;pequeña) y la antena parabólica de&lt;br /&gt;24dBi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Para una prueba de enlace en el campo nos decidimos por la Laguna de Apoyo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; cerca de Granada&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;. La distancia entre los bordes de esa &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caldera_volc%C3%A1nica"&gt;caldera volcánica&lt;/a&gt; de forma circular mide 7 km. Entre los bordes el terreno cae más profundo de lo necesario para tener libre una &lt;a href="http://www.terabeam.com/support/calculations/fresnel-zone.php"&gt;zona fresnel (para 7km y 2.4GHz un radius de 15m)&lt;/a&gt;. Ubicamos l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;os dos puntos de enlace &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;en dos lugares opuestos en los bordes de la caldera: en el mirador de Catarina y en la finca de José Alberto Azveda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probamos el enlace con un simple proceso de subir y bajar una imágen JPG de 8MB por FTP. El ancho de banda neto (peso de imágen/tiempo) medido en 4 pruebas oscila entre 368 y 648 kbit/s. Eses resultados son igual a mediciones que hicimos a corta distancia (1m). Son considerables, sin embargo estamos debajo del ancho de banda nominal del equipo que es de 1.6Mbit/s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despues de haber resuelto el problema de no alcanzar el ancho de banda nominal emprenderemos nuevas pruebas de más distancia.

Felix Rosales Sanchez (37) verdient wie viele andere im einfachen Viertel Orontes Centeno der nicaraguanischen Stadt Tipitapa seinen Unterhalt mit Transporten, die er mit seinem Pferdewagen unternimmt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felix fährt dreimal die Woche mit einem Gehilfen los, um Holz von einem zwei Stunden entfernten Strandstück am Lago de Managua zu holen. Früh morgens um fünf geht die Reise los, den ganzen Vormittag sammeln und schneiden sie Holz, gegen eins kommen sie erschöpft nach Hause zurück.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bei einer Fahrt kann Felix maximal 60 Bündel Holz mitnehmen. Ein Bündel kann er um 5 Cordoba verkaufen. Eine Fuhre hat also einen Gesamtwert von 300 Cordoba, das sind 18 US-Dollar. Von diesen 18 eingenommenen Dollar bleiben nach Abzug der Gebühr für den Zutritt zum Strand (4,70 Dollar), der Bezahlung für den Gehilfen (1,80 Dollar) und des Proviantes (2,40 Dollar) 9 Dollar und 10 Cent über.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im Monat ergibt sich so ein Einkommen von 109 Dollar 20 Cent. Der errechnete Monatsbedarf an Lebensmitteln und Artikel des täglichen Bedarfes einer sechsköpfigen Familie in Nicaragua liegt bei zirka 130 Dollar. Felix' Frau Johanna arbeitet in einer Freihandelszone, sie verdient um die 80 US-Dollar im Monat. Zu zweit kommen die beiden also gerade für ihren Lebensunterhalt und den ihrer fünf Kinder auf. Über die Grundversorgung hinausgehende Kosten, wie zum Beispiel für Medizin, Schule oder Reparaturen im Haus, überschreiten schnell das Budget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Foto: Felix Rosales beim Entladen seines Karrens.

Außerordentliche Ausgaben neben der unmittelbaren Überlebenssicherung, wie zum Beispiel für Schulsachen, für Krankenversorgung oder für Reparaturen, stellen für viele Familien unüberwindbare finanzielle Hürden dar. Unternehmen, die für den europäischen und nordamerikanischen Markt produzieren, nutzen die missliche Lage des Landes aus und produzieren in steuerfreien „Zona Francas“ zu niedrigen Löhnen. Für Bessergestellte ist das Leben im Mangelzustand nur schwer vorstellbar. Für Betroffene selbst bleibt oft das genaue Ausmaß ihres eigenen sozialen und ökonomischen Kontextes aufgrund der schlechten Informationslage im Unklaren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NICARAGUA EN LAS ZONAS FRANCAS - NICARAGUA IN DER FREIHANDELSZONE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um Außenstehende aufzuklären und mit der Lage Vertrauten Zahlen und Fakten an die Hand zu geben, hat die Casa de los Tres Mundos die Ausstellung „Nicaragua en las Zonas Francas - Nicaragua in der Freihandelszone“ konzipiert. Tipitapa ist eine der größten nicaraguanischen Städte, ihre wirtschaftliche Grundlage bilden vier Zona Francas, die sich in ihrer Umgebung angesiedelt haben. Es wird ein persönlicher Einblick in das Leben von fünf Familien Tipitapas gewährt und ihre speziellen Situationen in den größeren sozialen und ökonomischen Kontext Nicaraguas gestellt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Ausstellung hat bereits in ihrem Vorfeld zwei Artikel ausgelöst:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://recyclum.blogspot.com/"&gt;Justin Wolfe: This is the price for the jeans you wear&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://fm4.orf.at/salamun/203192/main"&gt;Ulrich Salamun: Tipitapa - ums Überleben nähen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eine Tour der Ausstellung in Deutschland und Österreich ist für Frühjahr 2006 geplant.
