Abstract: In the past decade, the demand experienced in the telecommunication sector has been astonishing. Communications, in a broad sense, became well established in the 1930s and 1940s through the telephone and in the following two decades through television. But in both cases, the degree of interaction and volume of information exchanged between the agents involved cannot be compared to the form in which it is carried out now, for instance with the integration of voice and image or with coverage, because there is today de facto global and real–time communication interaction. To satisfy this demand the services provided must be as efficient as possible, for example, mobile communication has become an essential service, especially in populated areas. Information technology products, albeit the same throughout the world, possess an asymmetry in their use, mainly between the developed countries and the third world, which deserves to be looked at in more detail. This paper presents some of ITA’s social initiative projects which aim to bridge the digital divide experienced today in Brazil. To allow a better understanding of this gap, some facts and their related relevance for the software and IT industry are shown.
