CNH and TIM invest R$77 million to bring connectivity to rural regions

CNH, which produces agricultural machinery, and the telephone operator TIM will invest R$77 million in the implementation of 97 new telecommunications towers in Minas Gerais, within the scope of the Alô Minas III Program. The State government's initiative is aimed at expanding mobile coverage in rural areas and regions with low population density.

The investment will be made possible through the program, which authorizes companies to direct part of their ICMS credits to telecommunications infrastructure expansion projects. In practice, this is a way of linking tax resources to structuring investments, allowing to accelerate the implementation of connectivity in regions with less coverage, optimizing the allocation of resources already foreseen in the tax structure.

According to the companies, expected to be implemented within 18 months, the 97 towers should connect around 1.5 million hectares in Minas Gerais, benefiting more than 200,000 people living in rural areas without connectivity, including around 47 rural schools, eleven basic health units and approximately 11,000 properties.
