As usual, talking about latin america and leaving Brazil out. Actually, this is a good strategy, because Brazil is the only portuguese speaking country in the region and the number of internet users is bigger than Argentina´s population, for instance. So it must be treated apart of the other countries. If you do want to know about online and search in Brazil shoot me an email.

Actually Marcelo, the presentation included Brazil in some detail - the two main markets discussed were Brazil and Mexico. It was the summary written live whilst the presentation was being given which focused on the smaller markets.
