The data from the Permanent Household Survey 2017, referring to Information and Communication Technologies, was used as the primary source. The statistics that describe the results show a greater penetration of mobile telephony in households independently of the geographical, urban or rural area, being the juvenile age group the one that excels in accessing the internet through mobile devices. With the creation of the National Secretariat of Information and Communication Technologies, the foundations are laid for the implementation of public policies that allow the reduction of the digital divide.
