Telebrás and TIM Brazil announced on July 13 that they have closed a deal to deliver mobile Internet to 1,000 Brazilian cities by the end of 2012. It’s part of a federal program to universalize Internet access in the country. The inititative will be possible using TIM’s network, which has national coverage, to promote access to mobile broadband in laptops and desktops via modem.
TIM has created a customer offer plan especially for the partnership, called Liberty. Initially, the plan will be offered in two cities in Goiás state and two more in Distrito Federal. The offer provides a Internet connection at speeds up to 1Mbps for R$ 35 a month (US$ 22), which is the value established as a guideline of the National Broadband Plan (PNBL).
