ABSTRACT
In addition to the technical discourse of reports and studies from the most important nations and world organizations that highlighted that greater adoption and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can contribute to growth, development and overcoming the various difficulties, researches have presented the digital divide as a reality and responsibility that goes beyond being "connected" or "disconnected" to resources and innovations in information technology and communication. This study aims to provide an overview of the tensions between the competencies of the multiple political domains, and some of the needs of society that contribute to the digital divide and demand efficient practices of Smart Digital Governance in Brazil. To support this analysis, a literature review and a Framework [1] for the study of Tensions based on Information Infrastructure Theory will be adopted. As for future studies, it is proposed to investigate the approaches presented in smart digital governance practices and the state of the digital divide in developed or developing countries.
