Telebrás was the Brazilian state-owned monopoly telephone system. It was broken up in July 1998 into twelve separate companies, nicknamed the 'Baby Bras' companies, that were auctioned to private bidders. The new companies were the long distance operator Embratel, three fixed line regional telephony companies and eight cellular companies.

The privatization process started within the democratic elected Fernando Collor de Mello government, in parallel with the greater Plano Collor economic reform program. The telecom privatization, however, was only completed during the Fernando Henrique Cardoso government, being taken up again in 1996-97.[1]
