Pre-feasibility studies (Definitional
Missions) for to develop e-government
infrastructure in São Paulo Ceará, Minas Gerais, and Acre states
and a Multisectoral Technology Park for the Federal District all in Brazil
In June-October Peter Knight,
working with Judith Hellerstein (Hellerstein
& Associates carried definitional missions to evaluate and prepare
terms of reference for detailed feasibility studies for three
public-private partnership (PPP) projects to develop e-government
infrastructure, two in São Paulo State and one in Ceará State, Brazil.
These studies were funded by the United States Trade and Development
Agency (USTDA). Two of the projects involve data centers (one each in
São Paulo and Ceará), and one an intragovernmental voice, data and video
network (Rede Intragov) in São Paulo. The reports have been completed
and submitted to USTDA. In
2008, again working with Hellerstein and Associates, Peter Knight
carried out definitional missions for USTDA for a data center for the
new Administrative Center of the State of Minas Gerais, a Statewide
Broadband Network (Digital Forest Project) in the State of Acre, and a
Multisectoral Technology Park for the Federal District (Brasília).
