Fixed, broadband and mobile operator Telefonica Brazil (including Vivo Participacoes) has signed up one million high speed internet customers under the country’s National Broadband Plan (PNBL) - which is designed to provide low-cost access to the Brazilian population. The operator signed up for the federal government’s PNBL on 30 June this year, at which date it committed to offering affordable broadband access capped at BRL35 (USD18.95) per month in 622 cities in the state of Sao Paulo by 2013. With the first 229 cities covered by September, the company says that it has witnessed an explosion in demand thanks to 300,000 net sign-ups – an increase of 43% in the user base since 28 September
