Brazilian law PEC 479: broadband is a priority
13
Aug
The PEC 479 amends Article 5 of the Brazilian Constitution, to provide broadband 
to the population should be a priority of the State, since “in contemporary society, universal access to information is consolidated as a key element for economic development and social nations”, according to its author Mr Sebastião Bala Rocha (PDT-AP-Brasil).
The reasoning is simple: to provide broadband to the population should be a priority of the State, since “in contemporary society, universal access to information is consolidated as a key element for economic and social development of nations” as stated by the deputy I proposed.
The PEC was proposed in 2010 and approved by the Constitutional Commission of Justice of the chamber in May 2011 and sees the social changes taking place, since “the internet, in particular, plays a crucial role in the construction of this new reality.”
The meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, 14/8/2013, 4 on the floor of the House of Representatives, and the SGP, the rapporteur Mrs Gorete Pereira (PR-EC), is approved, will be voted in two readings by the House still this month.
