O Ministro Marcos Cesar Pontes falou na Latin American Cities Conference da AS/COA em Brasília sobre vários projetos pelos quais o governo está trabalhando para contectar o grande território do país, onde o setor privado é mais que bem-vindo a investir. Por exemplo, o ministério está implementando um plano de três fases para trazer Internet em áreas rurais, e também desenvolver uma rede de centros de tecnologia aplicada para promover inovação. O maior objetivo para desenvolver a infraestrutura é poder deixar que as pessoas fiquem em suas localidades se quizerem e que não tenham que mudar para grandes centros para encontrar oportunidades econômicas.
