Zusammenfassung (übersetzt):
This text aims to understand the dimensions of the term meaningful connectivity. In addition, it seeks to assess how it has been translated by Brazil's administrative practice. This term was adopted by the ITU/UN system and, through a process of diffusion, since 2022, it has been used by certain federal agencies. The concept refutes the binary logic of having/ not having access to Internet. It refers to the need for high-quality access in an objective way - connection speed, types of devices - and in a subjective way, in which capabilities, interest and context in which the Internet is used must be considered. Documents produced in Brazil and elsewhere were analyzed, in order to conceptualize meaningful connectivity. Based on the dimensions identified, a series of interviews were conducted with government actors who work on agendas for the digitalization of the State and the universalization of network infrastructure. Despite identifying the sharing and adoption of a more sophisticated concept than the simple universalization of infrastructure, most practices are still focused on physical infrastructure expansion, with few initiatives aimed at developing digital capacities or even acquiring/adopting appropriate devices. Additionally, governance gaps in the connectivity process were identified, with fragmentation both within the central government and in interfederal coordination.
