Among the results it was found that the economic factor is a determining factor in the situation of mobility and access to technological means, in an area that is geographically dispersed, where the lack of technological equipment necessary for the community Infocentro, educational policies and state provisions are not adapted to the particularities of the sectors lacking services and connectivity.
