Abstract

Telecommunications sector has the potential to be an impact over digital breach and especially over genre breach. Iniciatives of ITU (International Telecommunications Union) are beginning to be recognized in the international sphere. People from all ambits expect telecommunications’ sector and today’s and tomorrow’s technologies will achieve to guarantee universal access and the benefits of this sector to men and women in both sides of the world: industrialized countries and developing nations. The administrative team of UTI has expressed the importance of obtaining a mayor link of women groups on information technologies, both in a level of development of policies and in the access to technology.
