Commission will evaluate investments in science and technology – News Portal of the Federal Senate

The incentive funds to scientific and technological development will be evaluated by the Commission of Science, Technology, Innovation, Communication and Informatics (CCT) during the year 2016. The application electing this public policy for the evaluation of the CCT was approved on Tuesday (29) by the Board.

the author of the request, Senator Aloysio Nunes (PSDB-SP), justified the choice by concern that the collection of funds that encourage scientific and technological development is not being applied effectively in the area. Currently there are two funds for scientific and technological development:. The National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development (FNDCT) and the Fund for the Technological Development of Telecommunications (Funttel)

“The aforementioned funds have raised annually almost R $ 5.1 billion. However, a significant portion of these resources has not been effectively applied, damaging the potential of this important policy, “Aloysio stated in the application.

The senators act in the evaluation of public policies in the country since 2013 when the resolution was passed 44, determining that each committee acts annually within its area of ​​competence, following the actions of the executive branch.

the CCT also approved extra staff request to hold a public hearing on the limit to the use of broadband ADSL data type (which transmits data over the phone line) that some operators should adopt from 2017. Vivo, Net and Hi have announced that, from next year, the plans, which are currently regulated by speed, shall be governed by the volume of data.

the author of the application and President of CCT, Senator Lasier Martins (PDT-RS) he explained that this measure will hurt many consumers, because the speed of internet access will be reduced when they reach the data limit set by operators. The public hearing will be attended by representatives of the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel), the Consumer Protection Brazilian Association (Protest), the Federal Public Ministry and the live operators, HI, Claro, TIM and NET.
