Oi/Brasil Telecom merger filed with CADE

By Guilherme Ieno Costa

The formation of the largest telecommunications company in the country is in the hands of CADE. Following extensive debate on the alteration of the General Granting Plan, currently passing under the scrutiny of other government departments such as the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL), the antitrust agencies and ANATEL itself should be preparing to make a statement upon the impact which the operation may have on the relevant markets involved.

We have taken part in a debate on the changes to the General Granting Plan, organized by Site e Consultoria Teleco which also welcomed Ex-Minister Juarez Quadros do Nascimento, the Presidents of the Telcomp and ABRAFIX associations, as well as the Ex-President of ANATEL, Renato Navarro Guerreiro.
