Resumo:Digital inclusion aims to combat the digital divide, that is, to close the gap that exists for both access to information and communication technologies and access to the Internet. The digital divide reflects the differences between countries and between regions within the same country. The present study aims to verify if there is a homogeneity in the digital inclusion, in the access dimension, between the regions in Brazil: Central West, Northeast, North, Southeast and South. The study has a quantitative descriptive approach, secondary data were collected from the Federal Government of Brazil and from the Regional Center for the Development of the Information Society from 2011 to 2014. The results show that the difference between regions in the scope of social inequality also impacts on digital inclusion, leading to the conclusion that homogeneity is still a dream to come true by Brazilians.
