TIC Providers 2014 publication details the provision of Internet access services in Brazil
Containing graphs and tables, the book presents an unprecedented analysis of the survey indicators
Citizens and organizations interested in learning about the characteristics of Internet Service Providers (ISP) companies and the services they offer in Brazil have access to the publication TIC Providers 2014, conducted by the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br) through the Regional Center for Studies on the Development of the Information Society (Cetic.br) of the Brazilian Network Information Center (NIC.br).
With results released in 2015, the survey received a broader analysis of the indicators, illustrated with graphs and tables that assist in understanding the ICT services provision sector in Brazil. Moreover, this edition includes an English version. "The results and analyses in this publication not only enhance understanding of the socioeconomic implications of the Internet but also support the development of public policies aimed at promoting a better Internet," highlights Demi Getschko, CEO of NIC.br in the preface of the publication available for download at the address: https://cetic.br/pesquisa/provedores/publicacoes.
Alexandre Barbosa, manager of Cetic.br, starts from the premise that in-depth knowledge of Internet Service Providers (ISP) is a critical factor for defining strategies to promote digital inclusion in the country. He reinforces that, “the survey seeks to foster public debate about a sector that, although vital for the growth of the Internet in the country, faces difficulties in developing and providing society with more quality services."
Conducted for the first time in 2011, the study underwent a series of improvements, aiming to expand the scope of the encuste. In its second edition, besides mapping Internet service providers across Brazil, the survey contributes data about offered services, markets served, access speeds, Autonomous Systems (AS), Internet Exchange Points, among others.
