Source text - English Geneva, 10 May 2010 — ITU and UNESCO today announced the establishment of a top level Broadband Commission for Digital Development which will define strategies for accelerating broadband rollout worldwide and examine applications that could see broadband networks improve the delivery of a huge range of social services, from healthcare to education, environmental management, safety and much more.
Launching the Commission at the opening press conference of the WSIS Forum 2010 event in Geneva today, Dr Touré said that governments now need to view broadband networks as basic national infrastructure. “In the 21st century, affordable, ubiquitous broadband networks will be as critical to social and economic prosperity as networks like transport, water and power,” he said. “Not only does broadband deliver benefits across every sector of society, but it also helps promote social and economic development, and will be key in helping us get the MDGs back on track.
Translation - Portuguese Genebra, 10 de Maio de 2010 – A União Internacional de Telecomunicações e a Organização Educacional, Científica e Cultural das Nações Unidas anunciaram hoje o estabelecimento de uma Comissão de Banda Larga de nível superior para o Desenvolvimento Digital que definirá estratégias para acelerar a distribuição de redes de banda larga no mundo todo e examinará aplicações que conseguem visualizar as redes de banda larga melhorando no fornecimento de uma enorme variedade de serviços sociais, desde a saúde à educação, gestão ambiental, segurança e muito mais.
Inaugurando a Comissão hoje, na abertura da coletiva de imprensa no Fórum do Ápice Mundial na Sociedade da Informação 2010 em Genebra, Dr. Touré disse que os governos agora precisam encarar as redes de banda larga como uma infraestrutura nacional básica. “No século 21, redes de banda larga com preços acessíveis e espalhados em todo lugar serão tão cruciais à prosperidade econômica quanto as redes de transporte, água e energia,” disse ele. “A banda larga não somente traz benefícios para todos os setores da sociedade, como também ajuda a promover desenvolvimento social e econômico, inclusive será a chave para nos ajudar a trazer os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento do Milênio de volta aos eixos."

Bio
I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker with a passion and an exceptional ability to learn other languages and their cultures which brought me to the United States about four years ago.
I have always desired to pursue this career as a Translator, and this year I had the opportunity to start formal training at Bellevue College, WA.
I now intend to establish myself as a freelancer where I can acquire new experiences and expand my areas of expertise.
