Brazil seems to be doing everything right at the moment, they just announced a government plan to expand broadband Internet access to nearly everyone who has a telephone line. The project, which would cost $ 1.7 billion, mostly consists in laying new fiber optic telephone lines.

The press release says that although Brazil has more than 32 million regular Internet users, most of Brazil’s 182 million residents don’t have access to broadband.
