It was almost unreal to purchase a telephone line in Brazil until 1997, and in 1998 an act was passed to privatize telecommunication companies. Since, this market sector belongs to private owners, and the country is divided into geographical zones, which are taken into consideration due to distribution of market players. For instance, some operators are supposed to provide services in one state, others – in the second, and so on. Every state has not less than two of them. Geographical zones are valid not only for landline telephone services, but also for mobile ones. Likewise, the distribution of services offered is also regulated by the government. So, some companies are responsible for both mobile and landline telephony, others only for mobiles. The mentioned issues are observed by Anatel, a regulatory body for telecommunications in Brazil. This organization is also responsible for giving telephone numbers and appointing their values. Thus, numbers beginning on 2 to 5 are fixed phones, numbers beginning on 6 to 9 - mobile phones. 1 is appointed for free emergency services.

The most popular operator in Brazil is Vivo, which owns 29,8% of market share. Principal technology promoted by the company is CDMA, with GSM being less important. Besides, Vivo is the only brand, having CDMA as the main method for providing mobile services. Claro is following Vivo, with almost 26% of the market share, gained by GSM mobile telephony. Others are Tim, Oi, CTBC, Sercomtel, BrT Movel and Aeiou.

As for Internet services, they are mostly based on broadband technology, served by the three main landline telephone operators, namely Telefonica, Telemar and Brazil Telecom. ADSL has gained great success since its testing in 2000, and now the connection speeds commonly offered are from 300 Kb/sec to 1 Mbit/sec, with bandwidth over 1 Mbit/s having more and more demand due to gradually decreasing prices. Still, most consumers are not quite satisfied by traffic limitations and necessity to pay for additional gigabytes. Web services are quite expensive, about 50 USD on average. Besides ADSL, Internet access is provided through satellite, cable and radio technologies. Not only cable Web connection is popular, but wireless services have also gained popularity at a great pace. Thus, there are several huge WiFi surroundings in the country.
