Brazil - Fixed-Line Operators

Synopsis

The Brazilian telecom sector is fully open to competition. But while the number of licensed companies increases, the bulk of the market is divided between three groups: Spain’s Telefónica, which owns Telesp (fixed line) and Vivo (mobile); Mexico’s América Móvil, which owns Embratel (fixed line) and Claro (mobile); and Oi (fixed line and mobile), which is controlled by Brazilian investors and Portugal Telecom. The fixed-line market leaders are the two regional incumbents Oi and Telesp, with 48% and 27% respectively of the country’s fixed lines in service, but they mostly keep to their own regions of operations despite the lifting of geographical restrictions. However, while their basic telephony service stagnates or dwindles, two other companies – long-distance incumbent Embratel and Vivendi’s GVT – have gained a rapidly increasing market share of 18% and 5% respectively. This report profiles all major and some minor fixed-line operators, providing relevant statistics and analyses.
