The cost of mobile and fixed telephony in Brazil is one of the highest in the world and the internet still reaches only one third of Brazilians. The alert is a ranking produced by the United Nations (UN), which also shows that the country lost in space telecommunications capacity. The data were released on Monday (2) by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Brazil also fell in the ranking that measures the readiness of each country in terms of communication technology. The reason: the relatively low education of the population, impeding the use of new technologies.
Of 150 countries evaluated by the ITU, Brazil was the 37th with the highest prices on mobile phones, taking into account the average income per capita of a country Brazil spends 7.5% on average of their salary to the cell. In Paraguay, El Salvador, Tonga, Peru, Bangladesh or India, to speak to phone consumes less of the income of the population. According to ITU, the operator chosen to be part of the ranking was the Vivo. Hong Kong, Denmark and Singapore, where the cell is responsible for only 0.1% of average income, are the places where the phone is cheaper. Already the most expensive are Togo and Niger, where the cost of the cell represents 60% of average income.
In terms of Internet access at high speed (broadband), the ITU suggests that the costs in Brazil are also well above the average of rich countries. A signature of broadband requires 9.6% of the income of a Brazilian. All other countries that form the BRICS (China, Russia and India) have more favorable rates of Internet access. For ITU, the broadband access is the real mirror of the development of a country in the spread of the Internet.
