Brazil may invest up to US$10.8bn in Telebras and put the state-owned telecom company in charge of the country’s fibre optic infrastructure, Bloomberg reports.
As part of the plan, Telebras would offer broadband directly to consumers, and for half the price charged by competitors, says the report, quoting the national coordinator of digital policy Cezar Alvarez.
In turn, this would help Telebras deliver broadband to 30% of the country’s poorest population, from 0.6% today.
