It is important to begin the reconstruction of our society and to start working on the economic recovery as we have this huge opportunity to build a better, more inclusive and resilient society and economy. As the telecommunications sector plays a key role and as we have seen the beginning of the construction of these plans, we consider that there are tremendous opportunities in several areas, like ensuring the optimal support and conditions for network infrastructure development, the digitalization of the essential sector of activities like education and health and telecommunications infrastructure.
