Published /Effective /Brazil

ANATEL's Public Consultation No. 30 corresponds to Item 1 of the 2025-2026 Regulatory Agenda, in continuity with Item 26 of the 2023-2024 agenda.

Its main purpose is to review the regulations regarding network sharing and roaming in the Personal Mobile Service (PMS), particularly in rural areas, small municipalities, and highways, in order to expand coverage and improve competition.

The project proposes to amend the General Regulation of Telecommunications Services (RGST), incorporating new articles that establish specific obligations.

WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?

The direct impact is on telecommunications operators (SMP), end users, government, and the public sector.

CONCLUSION:

The proposal constitutes a structural change in the SMP regulatory framework in Brazil. Its impact is significant, as it transforms coverage and roaming rules, requiring operators to guarantee service in small municipalities and on highways.
