    5. SECTION ON PERSONAL DATA ON THE INTERNET 5.1 Introduction: The context of conditions of access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Latin America The conditions of access to and use of information and communication technology (ICT) differ substantially in developed countries and in the developing world. While the former are concerned with issues related to network use, for the latter, universal access continues to be a challenge present on the agenda of their public policies and governments.40 Historically, the use of the Internet in Latin America begins in 1996 and evolves slowly: in 1998, less than 1% of the population was connected (Hilbert, 2001,) a figure that represented the highest- income individuals. As of that year, the percentage of the Latin American population on the Internet began to expand and rapidly evolve, reaching 9.9 million in 2000, a number that jumped to 60.5 million in 200541. Graph 13 shows the evolution of the number of Brazilian and Mexican Internet users from 2000 to 2010: Graph 13: Number of Internet users per 100 inhabitants Internet users per 100 inhabitants 40 A research project of the UNCTAD performed in 2002 in 51 countries shows the differences between these two groups of countries with regard to the strategies used to develop their information society. A concern with awareness, training and education appear repeatedly in both groups. However, the developed countries tend to prioritize regulatory and legal aspects, while the developing countries prioritize the development of infrastructure and the universalization of access (UNCTAD, 2002). 41 E-Marketer data available at: www.emarketer.com/Reports/All?Latam_aug06.aspx.

As of 2009, it was home to the largest population of internet users in Latin America and the fourth largest in the world.1 The country first connected to the internet in 1990, and connectivity is now available in most areas through a variety of technologies, though some infrastructural limitations remain.2 Several legal and judicial actions threatened free online expression in 2009 and 2010. There is an ongoing trend in which private litigants and official bodies sue internet- service providers (ISPs) and other internet companies, such as Google, and send take-down notices to blogging and social-networking platforms, such as Orkut. However, pending legislation would formalize an appeals process for such actions. In recent years, civic participation through internet media has increased, including in 3 response to the proposed Civil Rights Framework for the Internet in Brazil.

  • The Brazilian Multistakeholderism on Internet Governance1 Abstract 1
    1 The Brazilian Multistakeholderism on Internet Governance Fernanda R. Rosa Working paper – October, 03 2016 Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs Abstract This work analyzes the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee’s (CGI.br), a pioneering experience of multistakeholderism in the field of Internet governance, since 1995. It describes the CGI.br’s development that culminates in a self-sustainable financial model, the establishment of an election process to choose the civil society representatives, and the emergence of different kinds of multistakeholderisms within the organization. This work shows how the government has had a central role in the construction of the current CGI.br, sponsoring multistakeholder efforts since its conception, elaborating its decree and assenting to be subject to a homogeneous hierarchy among other stakeholders. It analyzes some of the controversies that emerge from the institutional design of CGI.br, its legal sponsorship and the openness to more participation, revealing the challenges of its current procedural rules. Considering the CGI.br a successful case in multistakeholderism and also in policy, this work proposes improvements, in terms of rules and design, to leverage their consistence and the diversity of interests within the organization. This work is informed by a 2-month fieldwork research conducted through participatory observations and in-depth interviews at the executive office of CGI.br and at events supported by it. Based on that, suggestions for future research are proposed. Keywords: national Internet governance, multistakeholderism, participation, representation, electoral colleges, Brazil. 1. Introduction The purpose of this study is to analyze the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee’s (CGI.br)i trajectory, an experience of multistakeholderism in the field of Internet governance at a national level.

  • Moving Beyond Connectivity
    Improving Public Internet Access in Brazil: MMoovviinngg BBeeyyoonndd CCoonnnneeccttiivviittyy...... Martha Fuentes and Joseph Straubhaar Telecommunication and Information Policy Institute University of Texas Report for School of the Future University of São Paulo June 29, 2001 1 BRAZIL IN THE CROSSROADS... Since 1998 Latin America has exhibited the highest rates of Internet growth among all world's regions (ITU, 2000). The Latin 'net fever' is commonly measured in terms of number of Internet users and hosts1. Between 1995 and 1999, the number of Latin American Internet users climbed from 540,000 to 9 million. And only in 2000, the number of hosts increased 136 %, well above the expansion rate in North America (74 %), Asia (61 %), Europe (30 %) and Africa (18 %). Brazil is an important contributor to these statistics. With 32.4 % of the region's users and 45 % of the regional hosts, Brazil is considered the leading Latin American market by investors and marketers that set in motion the world digital economy (Elkin, 2001; Rojo, 2000). For observers less concerned with potential revenues of the e-economy, Brazil presents a contradictory trend: the deceleration of web users' growth, which has caused the country to fall in the rank of Internet penetration in the region (Table 1). The demand for Internet use is not accompanying the expansion of infrastructure that situates Brazil in the fifth place of host penetration in the region. So some factors or barriers to Internet use may be slowing the increase in new users in Brazil. Table 1.
