Currently, among the projects with open calls for contracting suppliers by the National Teaching and Research Network (RNP) are the Internet Brazil Program and the pilot project that provides for internet connection to public schools, within the already existing Wi-Fi Brasil program, both in partnership with the Ministry of Communications (MCom). The novelty is that the deadline for receiving proposals from interested providers for the two projects has been extended to 3/31. But be careful: it is worth mentioning that the two projects are independent and the hiring of suppliers for the initiatives is not related.
