The executive secretary of the Ministry of Communications, Vitor Menezes, estimated that the construction of eight fiber optic infoways to connect the North region (North Connected Program), will cost approximately US$ 293 million, resources to be provided by operators that buy spectrum in the next tender.
Menezes assured that all the obligations contained in the specifications for this tender will not exceed the value of spectrum acquired: "In the field of public policies there is not the slightest possibility that the commitments established as public policy are higher than the value of frequencies.”
