Is scheduled for tomorrow the first meeting of the Steering Committee of the Digital Inclusion Program, which will discuss the details of the broadband plan requested by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in September.
This may be the return of government to the operation of telecommunications services. Since the privatization of the Telebrás in 1998, the federal government does not have an operator. The creation of a state for the sector concerned private companies.
Last week, Rogério Santanna, Secretary for Logistics and Information Technology Ministry of Planning, said it would be necessary to invest R$ 1.1 billion in the optical networks of Petrobras, Furnas and Eletronet (bankrupt company that has Eletrobrás as a shareholder) to form a national telecommunications infrastructure, controlled by the state. The idea would be to use Telebrás, today a company with no operations in the market.
Santanna proposed a partnership with small phone companies and Internet. "The business is to create an access network with all unhappy with the major carriers," said Santana.
He said these companies are being "suffocated" by large companies, which lease the infrastructure to provide services in niche markets and towns.
President Lula has 40 days to as there is a plan. Because of the Electoral Law, the new company would need to be operating by the end of the first half.
