Economic History

Brazil

In January 2001 ANATEL started the process for the introduction of personal communications system (PCS) services (C, D and E bands) which were expected to start operations by the beginning of 2002. In a crushing defeat for ANATEL, Brazil has not attracted a single eligible bidder in its scheduled C-Band auction for second generation (2G - voice and data transmission) mobile phone services, basically because the minimum price was considered too high.
