The 2010 Information Economy Report from the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has revealed Brazil has one of the most expensive mobile data packages [pt] among developing countries, at around US $120 for 2.1 megabytes of data per month, according to Rede Brasil Atual [pt]. The report also found that digital technology and mobile-related micro-enterprises – from selling top-up cards on the streets to refurbishing mobile phones – are becoming a crucial tool for reducing global poverty.
