Contribution :	With more than 4 billion of people disconnected in the world, it is fundamental that the public policies works not only promoting economic policies to improve the market of the sector as the only possible solution to connect the unconnected. It’s important that the State assume your hole in the telecommunications as a conductor to universalize the internet access as a human right, promoting and stimulating also public policies in a social manner, as smart/digital cities, shared IXPs and backhaul, community networks for example. In this context, in a complementary way, it’s possible to create policies to capacity building and education about how to use and understand the functionality of the ICTs in the schools and other educational spaces. A shared infrastructure is imperative to reduce the costs not only in equipment, but also, about the traffic that the public policies and other relevant digital services will consume in the near future, than, the State needs to change the regulatory environment to create a safe and sustainable scenario for all the players in telecom, not only the market, but the other instances of the government and social initiatives that will work with ICTs to include all the people in the information society.
