40k for six months of my life in an area where I don't have a lot of familiarity or a network of business associates or friends isn't a great deal.

Six months of my life to win a contract with the Chilean government to use my software, and I'm sold. How much support or networking is done by the program? Is it pretty much you get the money and you're on your own in a foreign country?

The first class met with Dave McClure and the Chilean President as part of one of Dave's Geeks on a Plane visits to South America recently.

Looks like they do a fair bit of networking.
