    The NSO surveillance - Why millions of dollars paid for surveillance of ......

Ghana's purchase of NSO tools was previously reported by Ghana Business News.NSO offers four tiers of support. At the lower end, NSO says it will provide basic software and hardware installations and troubleshooting. For Tier 4, the contract says NSO will offer technical support by an "R&D [research and development] Engineer," including "Isolating, tracking and fixing operational issues," and "Technical evaluation and allocation of defect reports within R&D.""The Company will provide the End User with assistance in operating, managing and configuring the System as well as resolving any Software technical issues," another part of the contract reads. The "Support Period Consideration" costs 22 percent of the overall system price, which for Ghana was $8 million, according to the contract. The question, why would anyone, include the Indian government, pay millions of dollars for surveillance of "journalists" and "human right activists"?

Why?Is there much ... and much more than the reports??....
