Brazil’s internet consumption doubled over the past year
Internet consumption in Brazil has doubled over the past year due to the social isolation imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and remote-working, said multinational software firm Amdocs.
The US-based tech provider stated that people working from home are spending more time using various apps and social networks, boosting the county’s internet consumption.
However, Amdocs’ survey recorded a large number of respondents who have expressed their concern about the growing rate of cyberattacks in the country and internet outages due to the unreliable ICT infrastructure.
Meanwhile, a survey carried out by the Institute of Management Foundation (locally known as FIA) shows that over 46% of companies in the country have adopted the remote-working model since the pandemic broke out in March 2020.
