MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This study approaches the fundamental aspects of the ongoing debate around the transforming context of telecommunications sector and regulation in Brazil. It departs from the recognition of losing essentiality of fixed-line telephony and the risks of maintaining this service under public regime and how it may jeopardize the prospects of telecommunications development under severe investment constraint and current political and economic circumstances. The objective is to offer an overview of the sector performance and to ponder about some references that granted policy makers and the board of commissioners of the regulatory agency to advocate toward the establishment of a new regulatory framework for the sector.
