The Agencia Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (Anatel) (Telecom regulator) approved the new regulation for the continuity of the provision of fixed telephony services, which highlights that at the end of the concession, the possession of the reversible assets must be returned to the State and not ownership over them.
The new regulation also establishes that the assets shared with the fixed telephone service are also considered reversible assets, even when they are owned by the controllers or other companies of the same economic group.
This decision that the assets belong to the economic group and not to the licensee, is contrary to the historical position of the concession companies that always wanted to reverse that legal position.
