The Prodam - Company Information Technology and Communication of São Paulo - adjourned to October 10 for the electronic auction procurement of services to access the Internet by WiFi system for 120 squares of the city of São Paulo (Program Digital Squares - Free WiFi SP).
The reason for the postponement is due to the request of the companies more time to survey the costs of services. The number of local installation of WiFi is high and how each square has different dimensions and location, calculate the values of companies has taken longer than originally planned. Also be made small adjustments of wording to make it clear that some points of the edict were causing doubts.
Coordinated by the Municipal Services, Digital Squares program has the support technician PRODAM and aims to bring Internet access to the main squares of each Subprefecture, distributed among 96 districts, and also for some symbolic landmarks of the city.
Key features of the program
- 512 Kbps connection effective for user to download and upload;
- Quality, stability and guaranteed bandwidth that include various uses of the Internet, including streaming, Voice over IP and video;
- Infrastructure to ensure access to the internet through various types of devices, such as smartphones, tablets, notebooks, netbooks;
- Management system that allows to detect and prevent possible incidents and fulfill legal and judicial determinations;
- Neutrality can not fail. The service provider is not authorized to filter traffic by IP source or destination, by application or content, except to comply with applicable legislation;
- Measurement of the stability, availability, and the band through SIMET - Measurement System Internet Traffic, available over the Internet for any user.
The initiative, which integrates the Target Programme 2013-2016 of the Municipality of São Paulo, aims to strengthen citizenship through digital inclusion.

EILD: Anatel promises to expedite dispute settlement
When being charged by operators during the competitive Telcomp VI Seminar 2013 held on 25/09, in São Paulo, from breach of Resolution 590, which regulates the service EILD (wholesale supply) by the concessionaires, the president of Anatel, João Rezende, says that there is only one way out: expedite speedy resolutions of conflicts.
"I can not get the utility company president and force him to sell for a competitive carrier. Has The question is to get the Anatel with a request for arbitration. Has to be done by all legal means. No other form of work," said. Vice President of Regulatory Affairs at TIM Brazil, Mario Girasole, admitted that there is a harmful behavior by operators with respect to regulation.
"Carriers are going to other instances when you do not like the regulatory system. This weakens the Regulatory Milestone. No regulations that meets all of the interests of each actor in the industry. And today there is a practice of going to court. This weakens the planning regulatory" laments.

Against "destroying" of Telecom Italia, Barnabas resigns as chairman
In the midst the corporate restructuring, the chairman of Telecom Italia, Franco Bernabe, has resigned, as reported to the carrier phrase "gratitude for the great commitment and contribution substantial administrative provided over the past few years to manage the company."
In Italy, the departure of the executive had been expected as a consequence of negotiations involving changes in corporate consortium controller of the telecommunications company, Telco, formed by Telefónica of Spain, as well as financial institutions.
The former chairman is now opposed the current process by which the Spanish operator will assume command of Italian, which also involves the sale of operations in Brazil and Argentina. "I can not watch the complete destruction of Telecom Italia," he told Barnabas.
Telefónica must take control of the holding company Telco with investments of 441 million euros in a transaction involving the exchange of shares. Banks that are part of the consortium want to leave the business now that the deadline for agreement between them will win.
In Brazil, the expectation is that TIM will be sold to a new operator - Anatel has signaled that there will be resistance against an attempt by Telefonica to take on the business of Italian here and can make the business unattractive to the resumption of frequencies use by TIM.

Broadband: few companies have access above 10Mbps in Brazil
Brazil
is very late in coverage and quality of broadband for the corporate
market , says survey released on Monday , 30 / 09 , the Federation of
Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro ( Firjan ) . Although
the average price for hiring of 1 megabyte per second ( Mbps ) speed is
currently R $ 48.55 , compared to R $ 70.85 in 2011, FIRJAN research
shows that only a minority of Brazilian companies has Internet access faster than 10 Mbps .
For 2014 , the corporate market intended to have universal coverage 1Mbps for micro and small enterprises . The medium and large companies , according to the study , are not included and Brazil does not have a plan beyond that horizon. The manager of the Industrial Competitiveness and Investment FIRJAN , Cristiano Prado , showed that , in contrast, neighboring Argentina already provides a more daring in 2016 , with almost all of its businesses ( 80 % ) with access to 50 Mbps .
In the United States , the plan establishes the universal coverage of 100 Mbps for business in 2020 . In Europe , the goals are also bolder , Prado said . In the case of Finland , for example , they reach 100 Mbps in 2015 , and in Germany , the forecast is 75 % of companies with access to 50 Mbps in 2014 . Among the partner countries Brazil in BRICS ( Brazil , Russia, India , China and South Africa ) , India provides for universal coverage of 10 Mbps for companies in major cities in 2014 and China access to 20 Mbps to 50 % of companies in 2015 .
In Japan , it is designed to universal coverage of 1 gigabyte ( Gbps ) to businesses in 2015 , Providence has adopted from South Korea last year . With 1 Mbps per second, shows that Brazil has the lowest ambition compared to other countries , says the research . " What question asked Prado , is if our ambition is compatible with the space that Brazil would have on global competition ? "
The Communications Minister Paulo Bernardo , the explanation of this FIRJAN manager , said that there are no targets to meet the speed or broadband internet for Brazilian companies . The targets set in the National Broadband Plan ( PNBL ) refer only to household access . Made clear , however, that is open to dialogue with entrepreneurs and examine the issue .
Cristiano Prado told the agency that in Brazil there PNBL inclusion goals . " To offer service to micro and small enterprises , the speed being discussed in the plan ." Most importantly , however , pointed out , is that while the business sector could get 1 megabyte per second , or any similar speed to that, " we would be far short of what is being offered internationally." The world , he said , is already showing some paths .
He noted that there is the question of the geographical dimension , which makes the service in Brazil in relation to other nations . "Brazil is not a small country. But it is important to have goals that can , for example , start with 50 megabytes in large urban centers or major states . Gradually building it Go " .
Prado said the message is that this needs to be on the agenda of the day . " The business sector needs to be within the priorities in the government with regard to broadband ." According to him , this is a competitive factor as important today as is the electricity and gas companies . Means that a company with better access to the internet can do more , faster and in less time than a company here in Brazil . " Argued that there is a regulation that encourages the private sector , with public sector support , so that these speeds are offered , both with regard to geographical coverage and in terms of quality.

Agreement between Portugal Telecom and OI was relief for the Brazilian government
The Brazilian government not only supported the merger of OI with Portugal Telecom and was relieved with the celebration of the union between the two companies .
There was great concern about the future of the Brazilian company and doubts about the ability of cash OI in the medium term .
Before the federal approval , two appointments were agreed with the Executive .
The first is a cap on the company through initial public offering ( the minimum threshold is $ 7 billion, but the target is $ 8 billion ) to expand infrastructure investment .
The second is to reduce its annual dividends to shareholders for U.S. $ 500 million - as , in fact , occurred in August after OI lose £ 124 million in the second quarter of this year.
There are about two months , the dome was the Dilma government sought to treat the merger . At the time , executives OI asked BNDES entered the business, but the proposal was promptly rejected by the President .
Internally , there was a fear of repeating mistakes made in 2008 , in the union of OI and Telecom Brazil to create a " supertele " Brazilian . The problem is that the operation , although private , was made possible largely by public funding , including funding from BNDES and state pension funds .
The deal also included push of President Lula , who authorized change in legislation to allow the creation of national giant . But the deal ended up bringing losses .
Of future multinational , the federal government expects a downsizing in the structure of OI considered very " bloated " , besides the implementation of a more austere management company , signed by the reduction of dividends and for more transparency in its decisions .
For the Ministry of Communications , Portugal Telecom is a small company, but has the technology to boost Brazilian .
The OI ranks fourth in the mobile phone market in the country and has the task of covering all of Brazil in wireline operations .
The indebtedness of the tele and fines imposed by Anatel ( National Telecommunications Agency ) for service failures always concern the Plateau that followed , closely, details of the negotiation .
Throughout the process , the two main government interlocutors were Zeinal Bava ( current president of OI and will command CorpCo ) and Otavio Azevedo , chairman of the board of directors of Telemar Participações , parent of OI
In line with the signal Brasilia , Azevedo undertook to advise the Communications Minister Paulo Bernardo , on Tuesday that the fact formalizing the merger would be released yesterday morning .

Reality Check: Enterprise mobility reaching maturity
The onward march of mobile devices and apps is a strong indicator of
the increasing maturity of the mobile market. But with that maturity
comes an ever greater need for better management and security of devices
and systems. A new report from IDC forecasts
that this year, smartphone shipments will exceed one billion worldwide
for the first time, a 40% rise compared to 2012 and double the
half-billion units shipped just two years ago. Many of those smartphones
will likely be used in the workplace as part of the
bring-your-own-device trend that has helped turn mobility into a core
component of enterprise IT infrastructure.
The fact that enterprise mobility is reaching maturity is reflected by the expectation from employees and customers that they can use mobile devices as transparently and readily as they would any strategic enterprise client-server desktop application.
“Enterprise mobile is fast maturing from a niche tool to become a core business platform,” said Kevin Noonan, public sector technology research director at Ovum, in a new release. “As organizations become increasingly mobile, there is a growing need for secure business systems.”
At the heart of the enterprise, however, there are considerable challenges as IT departments strive to put in place mobile software applications that go far beyond support for email. One such challenge is how to adapt existing enterprise applications to work seamlessly and securely with a wide range of different and evolving mobile operating systems, platforms and devices—something that many software and service companies are working to address. By 2016, for example, Gartner expects many collaboration applications will be equally available on desktops, mobile phones, tablets and browsers.
Mobility is an easily adaptable personal productivity tool that enables employees and customers to manage workflow, human interactions and data access in ways, and at times, that suit them. In that respect it is a double-edged sword: Employees can adapt consumer applications to improve productivity at work, but they are just as likely to use their mobile devices interchangeably for work and personal applications with little regard for security. Indeed, there is no guarantee that they will follow, and comply with, company policies and procedures.
As a result, enterprises need to be flexible. They need to act now to put in place a coherent, end-to-end mobile device management and security strategy. And they need to implement the application and content management skills that will enable them to adapt swiftly and securely to change in IT usage, as enterprise mobility approaches maturity.

Aquisição da dona da TIM pela Telefônica é danosa para o consumidor, diz Anatel
Uma possível consolidação das duas maiores empresas de telecomunicações
no Brasil --Vivo e TIM-- pode ser danosa para os consumidores, avaliou o
conselheiro da Anatel (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações) Marcelo
Bechara nesta quarta-feira (25). A fala se refere ao anúncio da
Telefônica de aumentar sua participação na Telecom Italia.
"A operação não foi submetida ainda e temos que analisar, mas acho danoso para o consumidor que as duas maiores empresas do mercado se consolidem", disse Bechara, durante seminário de telecomunicações organizado pela Telecomp.
Bechara também reafirmou o que ministro das Comunicações, Paulo Bernardo, já havia dito ontem, de que a Telefônica não poderá controlar a Vivo e a TIM ao mesmo tempo.
ACORDO
Ontem na Europa, a Telefônica, dona da Vivo, anunciou um aumento de participação na Teleco, controladora da Telecom Italia. Com isso, a participação do grupo espanhol na Telecom Italia passará de 46% para 66%. A transação envolve apenas ações preferenciais, sem direito a voto. No entanto, o acordo prevê que, a partir de janeiro de 2014, que a Telefônica assuma o controle.
"Isso pode implicar na venda da TIM", disse Bechara.
As declarações do conselheiro da Anatel coincidem com as do ministro das Comunicações que ontem afirmou que a concentração do mercado nas mãos de um único grupo é "muito negativa".
Segundo dados de julho da Anatel, a Vivo detém 28,6% do mercado e a TIM, 27,2%. A Claro tem 24,9% e a Oi, 18,6%. O restante é dividido entre empresas de pequeno porte.
