‎Telecommunications Law in Brazil

The Brazilian Broadcast communications Code, affirmed by law 4,117 of August 27, 1962, was the reason for the development of Brazilian broadcast communications. To unmistakably recognize the significance of its job, it is important a few focuses that mark the development of phone interchanges in Brazil. They arose early, not long after Sovereign D. Pedro II discovered Graham Ringer in 1877, in Philadelphia, uncovering his development, the phone. After that slight beginning lightning strike, because of the absence of sufficient guideline, Brazilian communication remained practically fixed, not intently checking the enhancements that were happening in the remainder of the world. For a long time, individuals and organizations utilized just telecommunication to send significant messages to removed areas.

Technological advances in the area of ​​telecommunications, in the last fifteen years, have revolutionized society. With the new technologies, it was necessary to seek a new regulation for the sector. If, at the time of the drafting of the 1988 Federal Constitution, the scenario envisaged for telecommunications provided for the mandatory services to be provided directly by the State or, by means of a concession, by state-owned companies, as from Constitutional Amendment no. 08/1995 services can also be provided by the private sector, through authorization, concession or permission.

In the book under examination, in addition to a little of all this history, an exposition of the main rules of the sector, the guidelines contained in the so-called General Telecommunications Law, or simply LGT, Law 9.472 / 97.

It is good to say that the author worked in the legal department of Embratel, in the year 2000, as this experience is reflected in the lines of his work. Far beyond the experience of the early days of regulation in the sector, he gained technical knowledge, and based on this domain, he will move with ease on topics such as the atypical competition that develops between the main telephone operators and internet providers, which in the end, still depend on common networks. Or that he will affirm, already in his conclusion, that although he was never an "ideological enthusiast" of privatizations, he recognizes that the legal model adopted in Brazil, at least for telecommunications, was able to accept the need to provide legal security to the user and at the same time. time to remain open to constant innovations, without the need for successive legislative changes.

The work is responsible for the regulatory model developed in Brazil, focusing on the peculiarities and also the controversies surrounding Anatel. Thus, at various points in the text, the reader will be reminded that "The regulatory body, however autonomous it may be, does not establish the national telecommunications policy, limiting itself to executing and implementing it (...)”, always setting a counterpoint to the principle of legality, a key clause in our legal system.

The text is very well constructed: it relies on legal bibliography but maintains a pertinent interface with articles from national and international journals, promoting the necessary articulation of the theme with economics and politics.
