Determination of the portal Tele.Síntese points out that, of the proposal submitted to public consultation a little over a year ago and the document approved today, the main change is in the proposed 3G coverage of federal roads and rural areas, which were not contemplated initially.
The 5G will require wide margin fiber networks. The country that does not have broadband infrastructure will lose competitiveness in the international market and will not attract new investments. ” Aníbal Diniz, rapporteur of the approved proposal,
