Lula da Silva's team seeks to make Internet access cheaper in homes during his next government

MADRID, 11 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The team of Brazilian President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) is studying ways to make Internet access cheaper in homes, especially for those attached to the CadÚnico government's social program, as confirmed by former Communications Minister Paulo Bernardo.

"We are studying ways to make service packages cheaper, with a focus on home broadband, with fiber optics. We suggest starting there," he told 'O Globo', confirming the information provided by 'Folha de Sao Paulo'.

Bernardo has detailed that according to the investigations carried out and the round of contacts with the main Internet connection providers, the country has the necessary infrastructure, so they are not going to invest in building more but in lowering the rates and thus facilitating access .

In addition, Lula's team, which will take office in January, is evaluating some alternatives such as tax cuts or an extra payment in aid from the Brazil Help, which will be renamed Bolsa Família.

However, Bernardo has stressed that the policy is at an early stage and is not yet a program since other areas remain to be heard, and it will be deepened after the constitution of the new government of the president-elect.
