Brazil’s federal government plans to expand internet access throughout the country. National Communications Agency (Anatel) will be responsible for developing tools, projects and actions to ensure continuous improvement, as reported by TV CULTURA, a partner of TV BRICS. The federal government has established ConectaBR, a national programme that aims to increase coverage and access to the Internet throughout Brazil. In the Official Gazette (DOU), the Department of Communications specifies that the initiative aims to “reduce regional disparities by providing a similar experience to users of telecoms services throughout the country”. The National Communications Agency (Anatel), which will be in charge of developing tools, projects and actions to foster this improvement, will introduce a “Mobile Broadband Quality Mark” to assess the performance of service providers.
