Brazil’s ICT sector is dominated by four companies: Telefonica Brasil (a subsidiary of Spanish telecom group Telefonica), Claro (a unit of Mexican conglomerate America Movil), TIM (controlled by Italy’s Telecom Italia) and Brazil’s national telecom company Oi. Yet, there is fierce competition between them, marked by attractive promotional fees and bundled plans. The competition has further intensified since June 2016, when the incumbent Oi filed for bankruptcy protection, which encouraged the other players to compete for its subscribers. Moreover, a revival of the economy in 2018 prompted the entry of new players, especially in the fixed broadband market – the fastest growing ICT subsector.
