摘要

Four companies dominate the Brazilian mobile phone market: Vivo (Telefónica/Portugal Telecom), Claro (América Móvil), TIM Brasil, and the Oi/Brasil Telecom merger. Together, these four control 99.7% of Brazil’s mobile subscriber base. The consolidation process, which had halted in 2003, resumed in 2007, with the acquisition of Telemig by Vivo and of Amazônia Celular by Oi. In 2008, regional incumbents Oi and BrT began the process of merging. This reduced the number of operators from nine to six, of which two only have a 0.3% market share between them. Besides these six companies, start-up company Unicel, trading as Aeiou, is beginning services in São Paulo, and Nextel Brasil operates a mobile trunking network based on iDEN technology. This report provides brief profiles of Brazil’s mobile operators, together with relevant statistical data and analyses.
