...ActiVia - whose technology stems from the biggest Internet project at INRIA, a publicly funded computer science research lab - makes the hardware and software add-ons that network operators need to better handle multimedia applications for big corporate customers. Communications infrastructure firms like Acti-Via are one of the strengths of France?s tech sector. Another French strength: optics and microelectromechanical systems (mems), machines too small to see with the human eye, used for industrial purposes like wireless network equipment.

Like too many cartridges for all three systems, Tennis is likely to be played twice and forgotten...
From the outset, though, Belaúnde was at odds with the Peruvian Congress. His Actión Popular party was not strong enough to outvote his opponents, the coalition of ex-Dictator Manuel Odría's upper-middle-class followers and the left-of-center American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA), headed by Old Liberal Victor Raúl Haya de la Torre, His budgets rose from $400 million to more than $1 billion annually, and the country's cumulative deficit grew to $555 million.
