Brasilia - The Communications Minister Paulo Bernardo said today (21) that the government is willing to invest resources to boost the telecom sector and increase the population's access to services, especially internet. He said the government's goal is that 90% of the population has internet access in the next ten years.
"I have received of the president Dilma charges related to the telecommunications industry, especially broadband: she said, from the government, if we need to put resources, is the budget, either in the form of tax relief in the form of funding for enterprises to build infrastructure, because we think this is the bottleneck that we have to solve, "the minister said during the 57th edition of the Scoreboard Telebrasil, promoted by the Brazilian Telecommunications Association (Telebrasil).
To an audience of businessmen in the area of telecommunications, the minister said the government has a vested interest in helping the industry, which is strategic for the country, but always ensuring the right users. "Only one way we are not aligned with you: if you quarrel with consumers, there are going to be aligned on the other side," he said.
Upon arriving to the event, Bernardo said he supports extending the deadline for submitting projects to participate in the Special Taxation of the National Broadband Deployment of Telecommunications Networks (REPNBL-Networks). "I support, I'll talk to my friend Guido Mantega [finance minister], but I think this is reasonable." The deadline is June 30, but Senator José Pimentel (PT-CE) introduced an amendment to the Provisional Measure 606/2013 extending by one year the time for companies to submit proposals. The matter has already been approved in the Joint Committee to examine the MP and still has to go through the Senate.
President Telebrasil, Antonio Carlos Valente, announced today that he was enabled, the Mane Garrincha National Stadium in Brasilia, the first telephone network in stadiums for the Confederations Cup. "Even with some problems, but it gives a very clear proof of our commitment to deadlines," he said. He also said that the country has reached the mark of 100 million broadband connections.
