The document summarizes the state of broadband access in Brazil. It outlines the evolution of telecom services in Brazil including growth in voice, cable TV, and broadband internet lines. Specifically, it notes that broadband internet lines have grown at a rate of 35.6% annually. However, universal access to the internet remains a challenge due to issues of price and income levels of the population as well as coverage in rural areas. To address this, Brazil launched a National Broadband Plan to expand affordable broadband access to more cities and invest over $1 billion in infrastructure projects like fiber networks and satellites.
