SUMMARY:

Arpanet, the first computer network, came into operation in 1969, and marked the beginning of a new era, marked by the revolution in information and communication technologies. However, Brazil would only enter this advanced stage of development of the Technical-Scientific-Informational Environment, almost two decades later through the National Scientific Computing Laboratory (LNCC). Initially, connections were restricted to the academic sector, and only, years later, would they be aimed at home users and businesses. Since then, this picture has changed considerably. Currently, it is possible to see the expansion of the Brazilian population's access to the world wide web, despite the inequalities in relation to access to this technical object in the national territory. In light of this context, this research aims to analyze the process of territorialization of the internet in the city of Lagoa do Ouro, in the Agreste Meridional of Pernambuco, from the infrastructure, access and use among different social groups. Despite the data revealed by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in the last census, carried out in 2010, when it had 215 microcomputers in 3,390 households and only eighty-seven (87) connected to the internet, apart from the non-accounting of the 2,130 devices mobile telephony, which then were not considered as access tools, from the second half of the second decade of the current century, the expansion of the internet in different areas of the city is visible. Indeed, the advent of mobile and wireless connection, added to other factors, made smartphones the main tools for accessing the web, contributing to the expansion and popularization of the internet. In Lagoa do Ouro, the mobile telephony operators, Vivo and Claro, offer 100% 3G/4G coverage, in addition to fixed internet providers, which offer connections via optical fiber, thus redefining the territorialization of the internet in the city.
