Anatel regulates the country's telecommunications.

Technologies like AMPS, TDMA, iDEN and CDMA 1x/EV-DO were used in the past by some of those networks and have been phased out in favor of newer systems.

On 20 April 2022, Oi’s mobile network operations were sold to the country's three largest carriers, Vivo, Claro and TIM.[36] Over the following twelve months, customers were migrated to one of the other three carriers based on their area codes.

Canada

[edit]

The country's telecom regulator is the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). However, it does not regulate most aspects of mobile phone service; prices and service quality are not regulated at all, while spectrum allocation is handled by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.

There are numerous mobile virtual network operators, such as Virgin Mobile Canada. These are not presently listed due to difficulty retrieving data for all such operators, and uncertainty as to whether the figures below include MVNOs operating on the applicable networks.[43]
