Quando foi feita a discussão sobre cidades digitais em 2011 se não me engano, houve uma linha defendida de que era preciso haver esta capacitação antes para que as pessoas conseguissem se adaptar as TICs.
De certa forma não podemos desconsiderar esta necessidade, mas, defendemos que a questão do acesso a infra deveria ser paralela a capacitação, visto o atraso que o país se encontra. Oque aconteceu no meio do debate e que até agora não foi devidamente abordado, é como será feita a gestão das políticas de banda larga, oque tangencia tb o tema de sustentabilidade. Logo, a questão de governança participativa passa a ser o cerne da questão, visto que as políticas estão sendo implementadas de forma desconectada, sem um planejamento de integração que ajude a reduzir oque está dito na pesquisa citada abaixo. Por outro lado, no movimento de redes livres, assim como em outros movimentos ligados ao tema da internet, defendemos que as redes de ultima milha tenham gestão comunitária e que possam se organizar conforme sua cultura e criar esta sinergia entre Estado e sociedade num formato mais equânime no processo de gestão. Vale dizer que numa linha parecida, mas, que precisa ser melhor acompanhada está o consórcio do A4AI que juntaram grandes empresas de tecnologia para promoção da universalização do acesso a internet juntando vários outros stakeholders no processo e não somente as empresas como veneram alguns governos como a solução da lavoura. Mas sigamos, uma hora encaixa....

The summary and links are below. Please disseminate among other colleagues who might also be interested. Best, Hernan Galperin DIRSI/Universidad de San Andrés <http://www.dirsinewsletter.com/templates/img/empty.png> The Internet and Poverty: Opening the Black Box Study in Latin America shows that Internet connectivity can help alleviate poverty, but that complementary investments in human capital are needed to realize the full potential of broadband <http://www.dirsinewsletter.com/templates/img/empty.png> <http://www.dirsinewsletter.com/templates/img/banner-1.jpg> <http://www.dirsinewsletter.com/templates/img/empty.png> A study undertaken by Diálogo Regional sobre la Sociedad de la Información (DIRSI), a regional ICT policy network funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC-Canada), found that that the impact of broadband access on economic development is positive but more modest than previously estimated – as much as five times lower than the more optimistic estimations. Further, the study found that connecting schools to the Internet has a very modest impact on student performance in the short-term. According to the study’s conclusions, “the Internet, like other ICTs, can be a powerful tool to achieve many development goals, including poverty alleviation, but this potential will not be realized unless human capital investments are properly articulated with connectivity initiatives”. The study used large household and school-based surveys as well as personal interviews to explore the links between broadband adoption and income, employment and educational achievement in Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Peru and Mexico. <http://www.dirsinewsletter.com/templates/img/empty.png> <http://www2.smartmail.com.ar/tl.php?p=hqf/f94/rs/1fp/4c0/rs//http%3A%2F%2Fdirsi.net%2Fweb%2Ffiles%2Ffiles%2FOpening_the_Black_Box.pdf> READ MORE HERE >> <http://www.dirsinewsletter.com/templates/img/empty.png> <http://www.dirsinewsletter.com/templates/img/empty.png> The Internet and Poverty: Opening the Black Box summarizes the findings from a set of case studies, offering new research directions as well as policy recommendations.

In Colombia, broadband appears to have a positive impact on entrepreneurship, with a 10% increase in broadband associated with a 4% increase in the number of firms (though only a 0.4% increase in tax revenues). In Brazil, Chile and Peru, broadband in schools appears to have a mixed effect, with a positive impact on drop-out rates but a null or negative effect on test scores. Lack of adequate teacher training is linked to a negative impact on student achievement by diverting the use of broadband to non-educational activities. Yet students from lower-income households tend to benefit relatively more from broadband in schools programs. In Mexico, in-depth interviews in low-income communities corroborate the key role of infomediaries, particularly school-age children, in promoting adoption among other household members. Such spillover effects should also be considered in the planning and evaluation of ICT-in-schools programs. <http://www.dirsinewsletter.com/templates/img/empty.png> <http://www.dirsinewsletter.com/img/images/PONCHO.png> <http://www.dirsinewsletter.com/templates/img/empty.png> Overall, the study calls for caution in undertaking large public investments in broadband connectivity. Any such initiatives must go hand-in-hand with investments in human capital, such as teacher training and digital literacy programs for women, in order to maximize impact and promote equity in the appropriation of benefits. <http://www.dirsinewsletter.com/templates/img/empty.png> <http://www.dirsinewsletter.com/templates/img/empty.png> Learn more about <http://www2.smartmail.com.ar/tl.php?p=hqf/f94/rs/1fp/4c0/rs//http%3A%2F%2Fdirsi.net%2Fweb%2F> DIRSI The book <http://www2.smartmail.com.ar/tl.php?p=hqf/f94/rs/1fp/4c0/rs//http%3A%2F%2Fwww.idrc.ca%2FEN%2FResources%2FPublications%2FPages%2FArticleDetails.aspx%3FPublicationID%3D1250> The Information Lives of the Poor: Fighting Poverty with Technology which contains some ground-breaking research findings on how technologies like broadband are transforming the lives of the poor in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
