ISP & telecomvendors & products

Telecomunicações Brasileiras S.A.: the state holding that organized Brazil's telecom operators from 1972; the whole system - three fixed holdings, Embratel, and eight cellular holdings - was privatized in twelve auctions on 29 July 1998, the largest privatization in Brazilian history.

The monopoly era's name; its breakup is the hinge of Brazil's telecom timeline.

Also known as: Telecomunicações Brasileiras, Sistema Telebrás
